The interplay between the host and HSV-1 infection

Edited by Chunfu Zheng
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a typical human-restricted pathogen, which is carried by 50-90% of the population worldwide, with higher frequencies in developing countries. HSV-1 is well known for its ability to establish a lifelong latent infection in neurons and trigger reactivation and lytic infection, mainly in epithelial or mucosal cells.
Although HSV-1 was identified over 100 years ago, the battle between HSV-1 and the host continues, as there is no vaccine yet available, and HSV-1 is still one of the major infectious diseases worldwide.
This thematic series, published in Virology Journal, is to help us not only improve our knowledge of virus-host interactions but also develop novel antiviral approaches and vaccines against HSV-1 infection.
The deadline for submissions is June 30th 2016. Click here to view the call for papers.

    The interplay between human herpes simplex virus infection and the apoptosis and necroptosis cell death pathways

    Human herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that establishes a lifelong latent infection and is associated with mucocutaneous lesions. In multicellular organisms, cell death is a crucial ho...

    Visualizing the replicating HSV-1 virus using STED super-resolution microscopy

    Replication of viral genome is the central event during the lytic infectious cycle of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). However, the details of HSV-1 replication process are still elusive due to the limitations ...

    Extracellular vesicles during Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 infection: an inquire

    Extracellular vesicles are defined as a heterogeneous group of vesicles that are released by prokaryotic to higher eukaryotic cells and by plant cells in an evolutionary conserved manner. The significance of t...

    Role of ND10 nuclear bodies in the chromatin repression of HSV-1

    Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a neurotropic virus that establishes lifelong latent infection in human ganglion sensory neurons. This unique life cycle necessitates an intimate relation between the host defense...

    Evasion of host antiviral innate immunity by HSV-1, an update

    Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection triggers a rapid induction of host innate immune responses. The type I interferon (IFN) signal pathway is a central aspect of host defense which induces a wide ran...

Call for papers: The interplay between the host and HSV-1 infection
Virology Journal is inviting submissions to the thematic series on “The interplay between the host and HSV-1 infection”. Edited by Chunfu Zheng (Soochow University, China), the collection welcomes research and review articles, and also includes specially commissioned topical reviews, written by leaders in the field.
We will consider articles covering the interplay between the host and HSV-1 infection, including but not limited to:
Virus-host interaction
Cellular responses to viral infection
Pathogenesis and immunity

The deadline for submissions is June 30th 2016. When submitting, please indicate in your cover letter that you would like the manuscript to be considered for this thematic series. If you would like to enquire about the suitability of a manuscript for consideration, please email a pre-submission enquiry to virologyjournal@biomedcentral.com.


Submit to the series

Best wishes,
