The Herpes Simplex Virus

Herpes, known more as an STD, some might say it could be one of the worse STD a person could get.However herpes has been around for many years, it is a worldwide virus and one of the oldest STDs that has been known and been treated. Even though the virus has been around for many years, it has only been fully understood in the last hundred years. The early discoveries of the herpes virus was discovered, by Hippocrates, a Greek physician who wrote about the symptoms of the herpes lesions. The name

Herpes is the name given to many virus diseases that’s caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), which causes cold sores and painful blisters. It is caused by contact (touching). Everybody do not have HSV, which means that people get this disease from them that have it by sharing objects such as lip balm, finger-nail cutter, hair clipper, etc. HSV can also be contacted directly through sexual activities. When it comes to statistic of the disease Herpes, it is quite separated by gender and race. For all

The herpes simplex virus, HSV for short, is a double-stranded DNA virus with an enveloped, icosahedral capsid. It is an infection of the skin and mucous membranes. According to the ancient Greeks, herpes means to "creep or crawl". It is named herpes because the virus creeps onto the skin from under the surface. It presents itself as fluid-filled blisters. Humans are the only primate species known to be infected with the distinct herpes simplex viruses. There are two types of the herpes simplex virus

Herpes Introduction Herpes is a highly contagious viral infection with a family of eight different types of viruses that affect the human body. There is herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) or the HHV1, which targets the facial area with cold sores on the lips. Additionally, there is herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) or the HHV2, which is known to cause a sexually transmitted disease known as genital herpes. Another one is the varicella-zoster virus (HHV3) which has been linked to chickenpox. Apart from chickenpox

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection at the Molecular Level Research Paper Virology 24 November 2008 Abstract Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is widespread and causes significant disease in humans. The structure, epidemiology, pathogensis and immune response are examined in this review, as well as specific ways to reduce and eliminate pathology and related diseases. The virus naturally infects mucosal areas and begins the search for its target host cell. Upon binding to the host

The herpes simplex virus, HSV for short, is a double-stranded DNA virus with an enveloped, icosahedral capsid. It is an infection of the skin and mucous membranes (CDC, 2014). According to the ancient Greeks, herpes means to "creep or crawl". It is named herpes because the virus creeps onto the skin from under the surface. It presents itself as fluid-filled blisters (AAD, 2014). Humans are the only primate species known to be infected with the distinct herpes simplex viruses. There are two types

Herpes is a highly contagious viral infection with the family of eight different types of virus that affect the human body. There are (HHV1) which is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). This type target the facial area with cold sores on the lip of the mouth. Also, there is (HHV2) that is refer to as herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) which typically causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. Another is (HHV3) that is called varicella-zoster virus. HHV3 causes chickenpox. It can

Herpes simplex virus is epidemic in the United States; however, precise statistics are unknown as it is not a reportable disease and 50-70% of recurrent infections are asymptomatic (McCance, Huether, & Brashers, 2014, p. 932). Furthermore, it is estimated that 80% of infected individuals do not know that they are positive for HSV (McCance et al., 2014, p. 932) There are two serotypes of the virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-2 is what commonly causes genital herpes and recurring infections (McCance et al

Two-Dimensional QSAR of Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV 2) Thymidine Kinase Inhibitors Abstract The Two-Dimentional Quantitative Structure Relationship or 2D QSAR was used to test 16 different phenlyguanine analogues using both the Pi and sigma parameters on the herpes simplex virus. This was done by calculating their inhibitory activity on the viral thymidine kinase. Being able to inhibit this enzyme will prevent viral DNA synthesis and thus reduce viral cell division dramatically. At the moment acyclovir

This baby’s mother had genital herpes and he soon died a few hours later with organ failure. Herpes simplex viruses are categorized into two types. Herpes type 1 is known as oral herpes, which is the most common, and then there’s herpes type 2 which is genital herpes. Herpes type 1 may cause sores in or around the mouth and lips. Herpes type 2 causes sores in or around the genitals or rectum, usually below the waist. HSV-2 is usually transmitted by sexual contact or by fluids from sore. It
