Human herpesvirus 6 activates lytic cycle 

The American Journal of Pathology [01 Jan 2005, 166(1):173-183]

Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a gamma-herpesvirus consistently identified in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV infection appears to be necessary, but not be sufficient for development of KS without other co-factors. However, factors that facilitate KSHV to cause KS have not been well defined. Because patients with KS are often immunosuppressed and susceptible to many infectious agents including human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), we investigated the potential of HHV-6 to influence the replication of KSHV. By co-culturing HHV-6-infected T cells with KSHV-latent BCBL-1 cell line, infecting BCBL-1 cells with HHV-6 virions, and generating heterokaryons between HHV-6-infected T cells and BCBL-1 cells, we showed that HHV-6 played a critical role in induction of KSHV replication, as determined by production of lytic phase mRNA transcripts and viral proteins. We confirmed and extended the results by using a luciferase reporter assay in which KSHV ORF50 promoter, the first promoter activated during KSHV replication, drove the luciferase expression. Besides HHV-6, we also found that cytokines such as interferon-gamma partially contributed to induction of KSHV replication in the co-culture system. These findings suggest that HHV-6 may participate in KS pathogenesis by promoting KSHV replication and increasing KSHV viral load.

Look at what Groq A.I. came up with for a plot for a novel that portrays HIV as a Ponzi scheme.

 Can you write the plot for a novel in which HIV turns out to be a virtual Ponzi scheme concealing a much bigger epidemic of AIDS caused by a different virus and having multiple manifestations? Here's a potential plot for a novel: Title: The Shadow Virus Protagonist Dr. Sophia Patel, a brilliant and determined epidemiologist, has spent her entire career studying HIV. She's convinced that the virus is the root of the global AIDS epidemic, and she's dedicated her life to finding a cure. But when a mysterious new strain of HIV emerges, Sophia begins to suspect that something is off. As she delves deeper into the research, Sophia discovers that the new strain is unlike anything she's ever seen before. It's highly contagious, but it seems to be affecting people in unexpected ways. Some patients are experiencing severe neurological symptoms, while others are developing rare skin conditions. The more Sophia learns, the more she realizes that this new strain is not just a v

Will Fauci screw up Zika as much as he has screwed up HHV-6, AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

     November 2, 1984 was an especially tragic day in the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/AIDS epidemic. That was the day Anthony Fauci became the Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. (NIAID). ( Good Intentions p.128) It was the day a thin-skinned, physically ultra-diminutive man with a legendary Napoleonic attitude was positioned by destiny to become the de facto AIDS Czar. In the fog of culpability that constitutes what could be called "Holocaust II" one thing is clear: the HIV/AIDS buck, on its way to the very top of the government, at least pauses at the megalomaniac desk of Anthony Fauci.      In his book, Good Intentions , Bruce Nussbaum writes, “Fauci looked as if he had just stepped out of a limousine. Trim and athletic, Fauci’s tailored suits, cuff-linked shirts, and aviator glasses set him far apart from the rest of the scientists and administrators at the NIH.” ( GI p.128) Fauci had risen quickly at NIH.

Dr. Konstance Knox explains why HHV-6 may be the key to dealing with AIDS.

-
  by Neenyah Ostrom New York Native , issue #678, April 15, 1996 Konstance Knox, Ph.D., is an HHV-6 researcher who has just published a study with extraordinary implications for AIDS research and treatment strategies. Along with colleague Donald R. Carrigan, Ph.D., Knox demonstrated that 100 percent of HIV-infected patients studied (ten out of ten) had active Human Herpes Virus 6 Variant A infections in their lymph nodes early in the course of their disease. Seventy-five percent of these patients, in fact, had CD4 cell counts higher than 200 (the cut-off for receiving a diagnosis of AIDS), up to as high a CD4 count as 700. This finding led Knox and Carrigan to conclude that "active HHV-6 infections appear relatively early in the course of HIV disease and in vitro studies suggest that the A variant of HHV-6 is capable of breaking HIV latency, with the potential for helping to catalyze the progression of HIV infection to AIDS." This new study, in other words, presents data furt

Is Kaposi's Sarcoma in Uganda connected to the African Swine Fever epidemic in pigs?

  Factors affecting Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus transmission in rural Ugandan households, a longitudinal study - PubMed (nih.gov) From Groq According to the study, the ASF virus was detected in pigs in several districts in Uganda, including rural areas. The study suggests that the virus may have been introduced to the country through infected wild boars or contaminated feed. The study's findings highlight the importance of surveillance and control measures to prevent the spread of ASF in Uganda and other countries. Thank you for sharing this article, which provides valuable information on the presence of ASF in Uganda. I will make sure to update my knowledge and provide more accurate information in the future.

The big question for French scientists and intellectuals:

Has the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up turned international science into a kind of totalitarian Vichy France universe of pseudoscience, a world where truthtellers and whistleblowers are silenced or punished? A world where research that challenges the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up is never published or discussed in a free marketplace of ideas. An Orwellian, dystopian world where anyone who recognizes the real nature of the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 coverup is stigmatized as a "denialist" and exiled from polite society. Let the great debate in Paris begin! To learn more about Vichy France, click here. If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chroni

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 the g
