On the Analysis of Intrahost and Interhost Viral Populations: Human Cytomegalovirus as a Case Study of Pitfalls and Expectations

Jeffrey David Jensen, Sebastian Matuszewski, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Intrahost and interhost assessments of viral diversity are often treated as measures of separate and distinct evolutionary processes, with numerous investigations reporting seemingly incompatible results between the two. For example, in human cytomegalovir ...

On the relative roles of background selection and genetic hitchhiking in shaping human cytomegalovirus genetic diversity

Jeffrey David Jensen

A central focus of population genetics has been examining the contribution of selective and neutral processes in shaping patterns of intraspecies diversity. In terms of selection specifically, surveys of higher organisms have shown considerable variation i ...

Methods for purging isolated organs and cells from latent human cytomegalovirus

Didier Trono, Benjamin Rauwel

The present invention relates to a method for purging ex vivo isolated organs or isolated cells from latent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The invention further relates to a compound for use in a method for treating HCMV infection. ...

Release of human cytomegalovirus from latency by a KAP1/TRIM28 phosphorylation switch

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang, Benjamin Rauwel

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly prevalent pathogen that induces life-long infections notably through the establishment of latency in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Bouts of reactivation are normally controlled by the immune system, but can be fat ...

Limits and patterns of cytomegalovirus genomic diversity in humans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Cornelia Pokalyuk

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) exhibits surprisingly high genomic diversity during natural infection although little is known about the limits or patterns of HCMV diversity among humans. To address this deficiency, we analyzed genomic diversity among congeni ...

Antiviral treatment of feline immunodeficiency virus-infected cats with (R)-9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurine

Johan Auwerx

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the causative agent of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in cats (feline AIDS), is a ubiquitous health threat to the domestic and feral cat population, also triggering disease in wild animals. No registered antivira ...

Human cytomegalovirus intrahost evolution - a new avenue for understanding and controlling herpesvirus infections

Jeffrey David Jensen

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is exquisitely adapted to the human host, and much research has focused on its evolution over long timescales spanning millennia. Here, we review recent data exploring the evolution of the virus on much shorter timescales, on t ...

Host miRNA regulation of human cytomegalovirus immediate early protein translation promotes viral latency

Jiri Vanicek

Reactivation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a significant cause of disease and death in immunocompromised patients underscoring the need to understand how latency is controlled. Here we demonstrate that HCMV has evolved to utilize cellular miRNAs in ce ...

GuavaH: a compendium of host genomic data in HIV biology and disease

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

Background: There is an ever-increasing volume of data on host genes that are modulated during HIV infection, influence disease susceptibility or carry genetic variants that impact HIV infection. We created GuavaH (Genomic Utility for Association and Viral ...

Rapid Intrahost Evolution of Human Cytomegalovirus Is Shaped by Demography and Positive Selection

Jeffrey David Jensen

Populations of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a large DNA virus, are highly polymorphic in patient samples, which may allow for rapid evolution within human hosts. To understand HCMV evolution, longitudinally sampled genomic populations from the urine and p ...
