Determination of the presence of Herpes simplex through Indirect ELISA Priscilla Mariel M. Cadiz Biology Department, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Ave, Manila, Philippines *Email: cadizpriscillamariel@yahoo.com Sexually transmitted disease is currently one of the major health concerns in the world today. Herpes simplex virus is one cause of STDs. There are two types of HSV present namely HSV-1 which is often found in the mouth area and HSV-2 found at the genitals. Indirect ELISA was used in

The herpes virus is one of the most prevalent viral diseases known to man. As much as eighty percent of all people, worldwide, have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), and twenty percent have herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2). This may sound like scary statistics, but most infected people suffer only mild discomfort. The more common form, HSV1, usually causes the occasional blister-like sores on or around the mouth. These blisters are called cold sores or fever blisters and, as most sufferers

Herpes Virus The herpes family of viruses includes 8 different viruses that affect human beings. The viruses are known by numbers as human herpes virus 1 through 8 (HHV1 - HHV8). Human herpes virus 1 Human herpes virus 1 (HHV1) is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). It is typically the cause of cold sores around the mouth. HHV1 can also lead to infection in the genital area causing genital herpes usually through oral-genital contact, such as during oral sex. HHV1 infections are contagious

and modifications to autophagic and apoptotic pathways. This paper looks at herpes simplex type-1 involvement in AD. History The origin of Herpes Virus is unknown but its lesions and transmission were recognized by Hippocrates and Shakespeare during earlier times (Kaplan 1973). In 1919, the experimental works of Lowenstein confirmed the infectious nature of HSV (Holden 1932). Twentieth century Herpes simplex virus (HSV) research lead to the discovery that aside from skin infections, HSV also infects

present, Herpes Simplex cannot be cured. The symptoms can be only managed. The root cause, a virus, remains latent in the body. There are about 25 types of Herpes. The most well known are Herpes Simplex Type I (oral) and Type II (genital). Although the medical community continues to distinguish the virus by type, researchers have found that both 'types' can manifest orally, as cold sores and/or on the genitals. Therefore, it is more useful to concentrate on the stages of Herpes Simplex, which are basically

Introduction The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a viral infection, which is responsible for causing herpes. Herpes occurs on various body parts including the mouth and the genitals. The herpes simplex virus has two strains, which include the HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. HSV 1 is responsible cold sores in most cases but it can also cause genital infections while HSV 2 is responsible for genital herpes but it can also cause infections on areas around the mouth (Kolb, Larsen, Cuellar & Brandt, 2015).

• Rationale: Adolescents age 15 to 19. • Projected time frame: 6 months. • Short-term impact: Student will gain knowledge about chlamydia, what it is, how it contracted, prevention methods, and where to go to get tested and treated for chlamydia. • Long-term impact: There will be a decrease in the cases of chlamydia in Butte County Program Objectives The program has two objectives which are: • Each adolescent will be able to state what chlamydia is, how chlamydia is contracted, ways to prevent contracting

the raunchiest of comedians, a suggestion of a loose life style, a complex virus that was only recently seen as something to be feared since the early 1970’s for a target of money for pharmaceutical companies. Yet as common to be referenced by Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet, and is a virus that is known worldwide, and almost every one has experienced in one-way or another. According to Medline Plus, the herpes simplex virus, also known as HSV, causes the infection known as Herpes. There are two types

transmitted through sexual contact and other physical contact with an infected person. Herpes is a viral infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. Once a person is infected with the virus it stays in their body for life. Once you have contracted this virus it is easy to pass it on to someone else even if the virus is not active. The virus remains in certain nerve cells of the body forever, which can produce symptoms on and off in infected individuals. Herpes is spread

diseases (STD’s) in America today. Herpes is an infection that is caused by one of two closely related viruses, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both of which are very easily caught, have similar symptoms, and can occur on different parts of the body. Even though it is most common to see the virus HSV-1 appear as oral herpes and to see the virus HSV-2 appear as genital herpes.      Most often herpes is a relatively harmless disease that is rarely life threatening
