Abstract excerpt
Purpose: There are limited data on the prevalence and genetic diversity of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virulence genes in ocular isolates. Here, we sequenced 36 HSV-1 ocular isolates, collected by the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, a university-based eye hospital, from three different ocular anatomical sites (conjunctiva, cornea, and eyelid) and carried out a genomic and phylogenetic analyses. Methods: The...
