The impact of interspecies recombination on human herpes simplex virus evolution and host immune recognition
2018-11-19
Abstract excerpt
Among the most ubiquitous of human pathogens, HSV-1 and HSV-2 are distinct viral species that diverged about six million years ago. At least four ancient HSV-1 x HSV-2 interspecies recombination events have affected the HSV-2 genome, with recombinants and non-recombinants at each locus circulating today. Though interspecies recombination has occurred in the past, its importance in HSV evolution remains incompletel...
