| herpes simplex | <virology> The Herpes simplex virus is responsible for several different infections in humans: gingivostomatitis (in children), pharyngitis, oral and lip lesions (recurrent Herpes simplex type 1), proctitis, (type 2) and genital herpes (type 2). (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| herpes simplex encephalitis | The most common acute encephalitis, caused by HSV-1; affects persons of any age; preferentially involves the inferomedial portions of the temporal lobe and the orbital portions of the frontal lobes; pathologically, severe haemorrhagic necrosis is present along with, in the acute stages, intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the neurons and glial cells. Synonym: acute inclusion body encephalitis, herpes encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpes simplex keratitis | <ophthalmology, pathology> A serious viral infection of the cornea that can result in a nonpenetrating erosion (corneal ulcer) of the cornea. The causative agent is Herpes zoster. Recurrences may be triggered by stress, exposure to sunlight, use of immunosuppressive medications or another illness. Treatment includes antiviral eyedrops. (27 Sep 1997) |
| herpes simplex type 1 | A virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex type 2 | Different from herpes simplex type 1, herpes simplex 2 causes genital herpes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex virus | <virology> A virus in the family Herpesviridae. Type 1 HSVcauses blisters on the lips, nostrils, and possibly on the lining of the eyelids. Type 2 HSV causes blisters and lesions on and aroundgenitalia. (09 Oct 1997) |
| herpes simplex virus 1 helicase-primase | <enzyme> Complex of three herpes-encoded gene products (ul52, ul5, and ul8) in addition to helicase activity, contains a tightly associated complex that may prime lagging strand synthesis as it unwinds DNA at the viral replication fork Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: hsv-1 helicase-primase, ul5 protein, hsv helicase-primase complex, ul52 protein, ul8 protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase | <enzyme> 3'-5'-exonuclease activity is associated with herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase; interacts with hsv-1 ul42 protein Registry number: EC 3.1.11.- Synonym: hsv DNA polymerase, polymerase associated exonuclease, herpes simplex virus 1 ul30 polymerase, hsv-1 ul30 protein, DNA polymerase ul30, hsv-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| herpes simplex virus protein vmw65 | Trans-acting protein that combines with host factors to induce immediate early gene transcription in herpes simplex virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex virus type 1 UL13 protein kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates icp22 and involved in the accumulation of alpha and gamma mrnas and proteins in the infected cells; aa sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ul13 protein kinase, hsv-1, hsv-1 ul13 protein, hsv-1 ul13 pk, u(l)13 protein kinase, protein kinase ul13 (26 Jun 1999) |
| herpes virus 1, bovine | A species of varicellovirus that causes rhinotracheitis in cattle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, canid | A species of varicellovirus virus that causes a disease in newborn puppies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, cercopithecine | A species of simplexvirus that causes vesicular lesions of the mouth in monkeys. When the virus is transmitted to man it causes an acute encephalitis or encephalomyelitis, which is nearly always fatal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, equid | A species of varicellovirus and the aetiologic agent of a disease in horses causing abortion. It may also cause respiratory catarrh in young horses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, gallid | A species of varicellovirus found on every continent and affecting mainly chickens and occasionally pheasants. (12 Dec 1998) |
