Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in the field of herpesvirus–host interactions to address unresolved issues, provide new insights, and attract a wide range of readers.
Nine human herpesviruses from the alpha, beta, and gammaherpesviruses groups can cause a range of diseases during the primary virus infection and reactivation stages. Herpesviruses establish a latent phase of infection that persists throughout the life of the host. During the herpesvirus life cycle, both virus and host respond to each other through various complex processes, and these new studies can provide crucial insights into the mechanism that virus use to manipulate their host and cause disease. Herpesvirus infections are ubiquitous and present a global health challenge. Understanding the interplay of viral and host cell factors at each stage of the viral life cycle may provide a basis for the design of antiviral agents and vaccines.
This Special Issue includes a cohesive collection of research papers, short communications, and review articles contributed by experts on herpesviruses.
