Serge
Barcy, PhD, research assistant professor at the Center for Global
Infectious Disease Research, made a surprising discovery during his
research of herpes viruses conducted at Seattle Children’s Research
Institute: the HHV-7 virus was hidden in the nervous system of naturally
infected pig-tailed macaques, a species of monkey. They named the HHV-6
and HHV-7 strains in the pig-tailed macaques MneH6 and MneH7
respectively, finding that the monkey’s strains were very similar both
biologically and genetically to their human counterparts, according to
the study. - See more at:
