Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous human persistent virus, which causes
disease particularly in the setting of immunosuppression. This review deals with aspects of …

Several decades of research on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and the principal
mammalian cytomegaloviruses which to varying degrees act as models of HCMV infection …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients with an impaired immune system. The virus itself can cause transitory but significant …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a recognized cause of disease in the fetus, the allograft
recipient and AIDS patients. More recently, it has been recognized as a pathogen for those …

Defining causality between an agent-be it a virus, bacteria, or chemical—and a disease is
the principal aim of biomedical research. Achievement of this lofty goal is hampered when …

Infection of mice with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is an established model for studying
human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. Similarly to HCMV infection, pathological …

The biology of persistent virus infections presents many intriguing questions, which extend
well beyond classical virology into molecular and cell biology and immunology. Here …

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) has devised numerous means of escaping immune
surveillance. The CMV genome encodes at least 4 genes involved in downregulating …

Publisher Summary Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is a very well studied virus of
laboratory mice. The discovery of the cytomegaloviruses had its origins in early studies of …

Nearly 30 years have elapsed since Rowe and Weller and their colleagues discovered
human cytomegalovirus (CMV). Because of its complex structure, long replicative cycle, low …
