The Evolution of HSV Herpes Simplex

Yousuf: If we detect proteins that are responsible for control of. lytic infection of HSV herpes simplex, and we hit the neurons with radiation to initiate lytic infection from a distance, is this possible? Yes. Yousuf: You can take lately infected cells and even mice and induce lytic replication. It's a mouse model, which is, you know, herpes simplex. One thing I would point out, though, too, is thinking about a latent infection in like an individual in a population if then it goes lytic and there could even be some knock on genetic changes. These are somatic changes, not germline changes.
