Human betaherpesvirus 5, also called human cytomegalovirus (HCMV,HHV-5), [2] is a species of virus in the genus Cytomegalovirus, which in turn is a member of the viral family known as Herpesviridae or herpesviruses.

Together with animal cytomegalovirus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), also referred to in recent literature as human herpes virus 5 (HHV-5), belongs to the Herpesviridae family, subfamily Betaherpesviridae, genus Cytomegalovirus. It was isolated in 1956 for the first time.

The most studied is Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), which is also known as Human betaherpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Other primate CMV species include Chimpanzee cytomegalovirus (CCMV) that infects chimpanzees and orangutans , and Simian cytomegalovirus (SCCMV) and Rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) that infect macaques ; CCMV is known as both Panine beta ...

2022年3月23日 · CMV spreads from person to person through body fluids, such as blood, saliva, urine, semen and breast milk. There is no cure, but there are medications that can help treat the symptoms. Most healthy people who are infected with CMV may experience no symptoms. Some experience minor symptoms.

2021年6月24日 · Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a herpesvirus that infects ~60% of adults in developed countries and more than 90% in developing countries. Usually, it is controlled by a vigorous immune...

2021年10月18日 · Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a widely-spread β-herpesvirus, is a major cause of birth defects and opportunistic infections in HIV-1/AIDS patients. HCMV displays an intricate system-wide modulation of the human cell proteome. An impressive array of virus–host protein interactions occurs throughout the infection.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a beta-herpesvirus that causes lifelong infection in humans. HCMV has a prevalence of 55-100% within the human population, depending on different socioeconomic and geographical factors.

In this review, we have summarized the recent literature on 43 newly identified HCMV genes. We have described their novel functions on the viral replication cycle, latency, and host immune evasion. Further, we have discussed HCMV-associated diseases and current therapeutic targets.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a betaherpesvirus with a global seroprevalence of 60-90%. HCMV is the leading cause of congenital infections and poses a great health risk to immunocompromised individuals.

Human Cytomegalovirus is a member of the herpesvirus family and belongs to the beta-herpesvirus subfamily. HCMV proved to be the major opportunistic agent in immunocompromised patients. Before the HAART era, HCMV was associated with most morbidity and mortality in HIV- infected individuals.
