Cytomegalovirus Disease

71
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.7K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Diphtheria

146
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rubella virus remains a global threat, causing congenital rubella syndrome. Rubella vaccination programs are key to control, but genetic factors influence immune responses to the vaccine.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Vaccinology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Rubella virus continues to pose a significant global health risk, with approximately 100,000 estimated cases of congenital rubella syndrome annually.
  • While rubella-containing vaccines are highly effective, incomplete vaccination programs contribute to ongoing disease transmission, as highlighted by recent outbreaks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review rubella control, elimination, and eradication strategies.
  • To present new laboratory diagnostic methods for rubella.
  • To explore rubella-containing vaccine immunogenetics and individual immune response variations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of rubella control policies and laboratory diagnostics.
  • Analysis of immunogenetic data related to rubella-containing vaccines.
  • Investigation of interindividual variability in immune responses.

Main Results:

  • Endemic rubella transmission has been eliminated in the Americas since 2009.
  • Incomplete vaccination leads to continued rubella outbreaks globally.
  • Emerging evidence links genetic variations (haplotypes, SNPs) to immune responses to rubella vaccines.

Conclusions:

  • Rubella vaccination is crucial for disease control and elimination efforts.
  • Understanding vaccine immunogenetics is vital for optimizing rubella vaccine efficacy.
  • Further research into genetic associations can inform personalized vaccination strategies.
