Special Issue “Beta-Herpesvirus Infection and Possible Cooperation in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Diseases”
Special Issue "Beta-Herpesvirus Infection and Possible Cooperation in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Diseases" Dear Colleagues, The pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases remains largely unknown; however, accumulating evidence suggests that autoimmune disorders could be the result of multifactorial processes. Studies on human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), a beta-herpesvirus belonging to the Roseolovirus genus (as HHV-6) but still lacking pathogenic association with a specific disease, would be also needed to improve and deepen the current knowledge about the potential of beta-herpesvirus in the development of autoimmune diseases. This Special Issue aims to expand the knowledge on the role of beta-herpesvirus, also considering possible cooperation, [...]
