Molecular epidemiologic approaches based on genomic sequencing have documented the global distribution of VZV in distinct clades that reflect patterns of human migration.Contemporary molecular methods are making it possible to dissect how VZV gene products support the viral life cycle, including those that are necessary for viral replication, virion assembly and egress as well as those that permit take over of the host cell by modulating cell cycle regulation, survival and intrinsic antiviral responses.Progress is also being made in understanding the events in VZV pathogenesis and the viral tropisms for keratinocytes, T cells, dendritic cells and neurons during primary infection, latency and reactivation and the innate and adaptive host responses that modulate these events. New insights about molecular virology and pathogenesis have emerged from comparative studies of VZV and simian varicella vir | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | 关键词 | VZV ORF66; VZV genome; VZV infection; VZV replication; dendritic cells; herpes zoster; infections; nosocomi | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-12728-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-26466-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-12728-1Series ISSN 0070-217X Series E-ISSN 2196-9965 | issn_series | 0070-217X | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE |
