Which Herpes virus is zoonotic
Monkey herpes B
viral latency
virus dormant in host cell, no rep, host is seronegatif for virus
persistent infection
virus is persisting in host cells, replication & production, anti-viral antibodies can be detected in host
how long can herpes virus infect the host
can be prolonged infection, life long
Herpes virus antigenicity
- weak antigens
- vaccine protection only for few months
- cross reactions within genera
(rarely cross protection)
Herpes virus detection of infection
