    Summary

    Herpes simplex virus establishes latent infections primarily in sensory ganglia. Factors regulating latency and viral reactivation remain largely unknown.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes lifelong infections characterized by latent periods and recurrent episodes.
    • Understanding HSV latency is crucial for developing effective antiviral strategies and therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing experimental evidence on the mechanisms of herpes simplex virus latent infection.
    • To identify knowledge gaps concerning the establishment, maintenance, and reactivation of HSV latency.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive review of experimental studies on herpes simplex virus latency.
    • Analysis of evidence regarding the viral reservoir during asymptomatic periods.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental data indicate that sensory ganglia innervating the site of primary infection serve as the main reservoir for latent HSV.
    • The precise factors governing the initiation, persistence, and regulation of viral particle production during latency are not well understood.

    Conclusions:

    • Sensory ganglia are the predominant site for herpes simplex virus latency.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying HSV latency and reactivation to inform therapeutic interventions.
