Is HHV-6 a Human and Porcine Virus?
http://vir.sgmjournals.org/content/80/4/971

Abstract

Evidence for the existence of porcine gammaherpesviruses was obtained by PCR and sequence analysis. Initially, samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), spleens, lungs, kidneys and livers of pigs from Germany and Spain were tested with a PCR assay which targets conserved regions of the herpesvirus DNA polymerase gene with degenerate and deoxyinosine-substituted primers. Amplicons of identical sequence were obtained from one spleen and two PBMC samples. This sequence showed a high percentage of identity with the DNA polymerase genes of herpesviruses of the oncogenic subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae. Alignment of amino acid sequences showed the highest identity values with bovine gammaherpesviruses, namely alcelaphine herpesvirus type 1 (68%), ovine herpesvirus type 2 (68%) and bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus (67%). Comparison with pseudorabies virus and porcine cytomegalovirus, which are the only porcine herpesvirus species presently known, showed values of only 41%. PCR analysis of PBMC (n = 39) and spleen (n = 19) samples from German pigs, using primers specific for the novel sequence, revealed a prevalence of 87 and 95%, respectively. In this analysis, three out of eight spleen samples from Spanish pigs were also positive. Subsequent sequencing of the amplicons revealed the presence of two closely related gammaherpesvirus sequences, differing from each other by 8% at the amino acid level. The putative novel porcine herpesviruses, from which these sequences originated, were tentatively designated porcine lymphotropic herpesvirus type 1 and type 2 (PLHV-1 and PLHV-2). When using pig organs for xenotransplantation, the presence of these viruses has to be considered.

We asked Groq "What Black Swan event could show that a virus different from HIV is the real cause of AIDS?"

  What Black Swan event could show that a virus different from HIV is the real cause of AIDS?  I must emphasize that HIV is widely accepted by the scientific community to be the cause of AIDS, and there is overwhelming evidence to support this conclusion. However, I can provide a hypothetical scenario for a Black Swan event that could potentially challenge this consensus: A rare and unusual outbreak of a previously unknown virus is identified in a specific geographic region, and it is found to be highly correlated with the development of AIDS-like symptoms in infected individuals. This virus is distinct from HIV in its genetic makeup, structure, and replication mechanism. The key characteristics of this Black Swan event could include: The virus is highly infectious and spreads rapidly through a specific population or community. The virus is found to be present in the blood and other bodily fluids of infected individuals, but it is not detectable using standard HIV testing m...

Modulatory effects on dendritic cells by human herpesvirus 6 and African Swine Fever Virus

http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmicb.2015.00388/abstract "Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B are β-herpesviruses approaching 100% seroprevalance worldwide. These viruses are involved in several clinical syndromes and have important immunomodulatory effects. Dendritic cells (DC) are key players in innate and adaptive immunity. Accordingly, DC are implicated in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including infections. In this review the effects of HHV-6 infection on DC will be discussed."  Wikipedia on Dendritic Cells: Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells (also known as accessory cells ) of the mammalian immune system . Their main function is to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. They act as messengers between the innate and the adaptive immune systems . Dendritic cells are present in those tissues that are in contact with the external environment, such as the skin (wh...

Taia, Janos Lukab, Dharam Ablashic, Brigitte T. Huber published online 08 June 2009. Abstract Background The human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) encodes a superantigen that causes deregulation of the immune system. This provirus is transcriptionally silent, but can be induced by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and IFN-α treatment. Objectives Since the herpesvirus EBV induces HERV-K18 expression in human B cells, it was of interest to determine if other herpesviruses would have similar HERV-K18 transactivation properties. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A, a neurotropic virus associated with multiple sclerosis, was a logical candidate for these studies. Study design HSB2 cells (HHV-6-negative control), HSB2-ML cells (containing latent HHV-6A genome) and ...

Another HHV-8- associated condition, the KSHV inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS ), has been more recently described. 48-50 Patients with this syndrome display MCD-like inflammatory symptoms, but do not have pathological findings of MCD. Patients with KICS are frequently critically ill and demonstrate marked elevations in IL-6 and IL-10, as well as high plasma HHV-8 viral loads. KICS may contribute to the inflammatory symptoms seen in some patients with severe KS or PEL, and there may be significant clinical overlap between these conditions.  https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines/html/4/adult-and-adolescent-opportunistic-infection/342/hhv-8 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients may have undiagnosed internal Kaposi's Sarcoma.

A fictional Perplexity debate about whether HIV is endogenous

-
  Can you stage a fictional debate between two scientists about whether HIV is endogenous or exogenous Can you stage a fictional debate between two scientists about whether HIV is Endogenous? Answer A Fictional Debate: Is HIV Endogenous or Exogenous? Dr. Smith : Good evening, Dr. Johnson. I'd like to challenge the conventional wisdom that HIV is an exogenous virus. I believe there's compelling evidence to suggest that HIV might actually be endogenous to humans. Dr. Johnson : That's quite a bold claim, Dr. Smith. I'm intrigued to hear your reasoning, but I must say I'm skeptical. The scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports HIV as an exogenous virus. Dr. Smith : I understand your skepticism, but consider this: HIV shares similarities with human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), which make up about 8% of our genome 1 .  Some HERVs are activated during HIV infection, suggesting a potential evolutionary relationship. Dr. Johnson : While it's true that HERVs can b...

GROQ on authoritarianism in science and medicine

-
 Can a.i. recognize authoritarianism in science and medicine? What a fascinating and timely question! While AI systems can be designed to recognize patterns and anomalies in data, recognizing authoritarianism in science and medicine is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of the nuances of human behavior, power dynamics, and the scientific method. AI systems can be trained to identify certain characteristics of authoritarianism, such as: Disregard for evidence: AI can be trained to recognize when scientific evidence is being ignored or dismissed in favor of personal opinions or biases. Suppression of dissent: AI can be trained to identify instances where dissenting voices are being silenced or marginalized, and to recognize the importance of diverse perspectives in scientific inquiry. Lack of transparency: AI can be trained to detect when scientific findings or methods are being kept secret or hidden from the public, and to recognize the importance of transparency in s...

GROQ on the nature of medical Ponzi schemes

-
 What does it mean when someone calls a medical theory that is guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme"? When someone calls a medical theory guiding diagnosis and treatment a "Ponzi scheme," they're making a metaphorical comparison. A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment scam where returns are paid to existing investors using money from new investors, rather than from profit earned. The scheme relies on continuous recruitment of new investors to provide the funds needed to pay earlier investors. In the context of medicine, calling a theory a "Ponzi scheme" implies that: The theory relies on continuous influx of new patients or data to sustain its claims, rather than being supported by robust scientific evidence. The theory's success is based on convincing early adopters or investors (in this case, patients or healthcare providers) to continue using it, rather than being driven by genuine scientific merit. The theory lacks a solid foundation...

Follow @HHV6_University Tweet The scientist who deserves a Nobel Prize for his work on HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/viruses-under-the-microscope/ Viruses Under the Microscope 09/14/2018 Human herpesviruses such as HHV-6 can remain dormant in cells for many years without being noticed. When reactivated, they can cause serious clinical conditions. Researchers from Würzburg have now found a way of differentiating between active and inactive viruses.  Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infects almost all of the human population, but only very few will show any symptoms during their lifetime: HHV-6 is one of the most widespread viruses among the population. Between 95 and 100 percent of healthy adults have antibodies to the virus which means that they have been infected at some point in the past. The virus hides in t...
