Whole genome diversity of inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6 derived from healthy individuals of diverse geographic origin
Abstract Human herpesviruses 6-A and -B (HHV-6A, HHV-6B) are ubiquitous in human populations worldwide. These viruses have been associated with several diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Hodgkin’s lymphoma or encephalitis. Despite of the need to understand the genetic diversity and geographic stra...
