Journal ArticleDOI
Three Closely Related Herpesviruses Are Associated with Fibropapillomatosis in Marine Turtles
Sandra L. Quackenbush,Thierry M. Work,George H. Balazs,Rufina N. Casey,Joel Rovnak,Anny Chaves,Leslie duToit,Joel D. Baines,Colin R. Parrish,Paul R. Bowser,James W. Casey +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that these closely related turtle herpesviruses are intimately involved in the genesis of fibropapillomatosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of herpes simplex virus type 1 and varicella-zoster virus latency and reactivation
TL;DR: There is increasing evidence that HSV-1 and VZV latency is epigenetically regulated, and in vitro models that permit pathway analysis and identification of both epigenetic modulations and global transcriptional mechanisms hold much promise for the future understanding in this complex area.
Journal ArticleDOI
The herpes simplex virus 1 UL15 gene encodes two proteins and is required for cleavage of genomic viral DNA.
TL;DR: Viral DNA accumulating in cells infected with herpes simplex virus 1(mP)ts66.4 and maintained at the nonpermissive temperature was in an endless (concatemeric) form, and therefore UL15 is required for the cleavage of mature, unit-length molecules for packaging into capsids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and specific detection of Asian- and African-lineage Zika viruses

Brault,Eva Harris,Brian D. Foy,Sandra L. Quackenbush,Rushika Perera,Joel Rovnak +25 more
TL;DR: A rapid, specific, sensitive, and inexpensive method has been developed that detects RNA from a Zika virus strain associated with the current outbreak, and can also detect the African-lineage Zikairus strain using separate, specific primers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Variation of the Fibropapilloma-Associated Marine Turtle Herpesvirus across Seven Geographic Areas and Three Host Species
Rebecca J. Greenblatt,Sandra L. Quackenbush,Rufina N. Casey,Joel Rovnak,George H. Balazs,Thierry M. Work,James W. Casey,Claudia A. Sutton +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that FPTHV was established in marine turtle populations prior to the emergence of FP as it is currently known, and is a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae.
