Article Synopsis
- * The study included 17 FM patients and 24 healthy individuals, aiming to identify potential biomarkers, detecting human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A and B in patient samples, and measuring related antibodies and cytokine levels.
- * Findings indicated higher detection of HHV-6B in FM patients, particularly those with a BMI of 30 or more, along with significant differences in gut microbiome diversity between FM patients and healthy controls.
Virus-associated chronic inflammation may contribute to autoimmunity in a number of diseases. In the brain, autoimmune encephalitis appears related to fluctuating reactivation states of neurotropic viruses. In addition, viral miRNAs and proteins can be transmitted via exosomes, which constitute novel but highly relevant mediators of cellular communication.

Although this trait has been linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes, an association between viral reactivation and complications has only been conclusively established in a few cases. In contrast to these studies, which followed donor-derived transmission, our investigation is the first to examine the pathogenicity of a recipient´s iciHHV-6B and its impact on the graft.

It prominently highlighted the recent advancements in different disciplines of virology. The conference had fourteen keynote speakers covering diverse topics, including emerging virus pseudotypes, Zika virus vaccine development, herpesvirus capsid mobility, parvovirus invasion strategies, influenza in animals and birds, West Nile virus and Marburg virus ecology, as well as the latest update in animal vaccines.
