The microbiota of the respiratory tract: gatekeeper to respiratory health (2017, background): “Similarly, chronic infection with herpesviruses, which have co-evolved with mammals for millions of years 173 and can be detected in more than 90% of humans 172 , protects against bacterial infections by increasing the basal expression of interferon-γ (IFNγ) and facilitating the activation of macrop”
Redefining chronic viral infection. (2009, neutral): “An example of the timeframe involved in establishing such relationships comes from herpesviruses, which derive from an ancestral virus shared by birds, reptiles, and mammals (McGeoch et al., 2006) and have therefore shared more than 100 million years of coevolution with their current hosts.”
The Order Herpesvirales (2008, neutral): “One is the genus Proboscivirus (from προβoσκίς or proboscis: elephant’s trunk), which recognizes a distinct lineage of the subfamily Betaherpesvirinae containing the new species Elephantid herpesvirus 1 [9, 16, 19].”
