Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is found universally throughout all geographic locations and socioeconomic groups, and infects between 50% and 85% of adults in the United States by 40 years of age. CMV is also the virus most frequently transmitted to a developing child before birth. CMV infection is more widespread in developing countries and in areas of lower socioeconomic conditions. For most healthy persons who acquire CMV after birth there are few symptoms and no long-term health consequences. However, CMV infection is important to certain high-risk groups. Major areas of concern are the risk of infection to (1) the unborn baby during pregnancy, (2) people who work with children, and (3) immunocompromised patients Adapted from and for more information see: http://www.edinformatics.com/biotechnology/cytomegalovirus.htm The visualisation is based on data retrieved from rcsb.org: 5OW6 CryoEM structure of recombinant CMV particles with Tetanus-epitope Zeltins, A., et al.
