Research
- Herpesviruses are responsible for both substantial human suffering and economic loss. Most members of this class of virus can cause either a lytic or latent infection in host cells. A lytic infection results in death of the host cell while in a latent infection, the herpesvirus genome is maintained within the cell in an intact form. Latently infected cells can be stimulated to reactivate the virus by a variety of means and reactivation yields a release of virus particles. In some cases, latent infection also appears to be responsible for transformation of the host cell to a cancer cell. Our laboratory works on Marek鈥檚 disease virus (MDV), a herpesvirus that causes T-cell lymphomas in chickens and Herpesvirus of Turkey (HVT), which can confer resistance to Marek鈥檚 disease in chickens. Two major projects are ongoing in the laboratory.
