cytomegalovirus

Coxsackievirus B4, Herpesvirus 6, Enteroviruses, and Cytomegalovirus have all been linked to type 1 diabetes and pancreatic failure.

It's the first time I hear of latent cytomegalovirus infection though, which apparently has a very strong impact.

I remember when the blood nurses found out I was cytomegalovirus free (rare, most people are infected at birth).

Separately 50% of Americans have cytomegalovirus, another herpes virus.

I'm negative for cytomegalovirus, which makes my blood suitable for newborns, cancer patients, HIV patents, etc.

Consider Human cytomegalovirus, in the herpes family.

What most people don't know, is that if we could otherwise have a life expectancy of 200 years, many of us would be dying from cytomegalovirus.

Those are not insubstantial: Diabetes has been documented as a symptom of cytomegalovirus (mono), mumps, rubella, rotavirus, and enteroviruses (polio and hand-foot-mouth).

> Three variables stood out: smoking, latent cytomegalovirus infection(2) and body mass index.

To donate platelets, you have to do a test for cytomegalovirus (I have no idea what this is, but am negative), and I think a few other minor things.

Of course, assuming you make it into adulthood CMV-free, you could remain completely chaste in an effort to avoid the horrors of this virus: > Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that usually causes no symptoms or only mild illness.

Maybe > The presence of an apparent pig cytomegalovirus was worrying, but the researchers indicate there's some question about whether the tests that picked it up might have been recognizing a closely related human virus—one that's often associated with organ transplant problems.

The whole topic sounds very risky to me indeed but they seemed to have been very careful with their choice of virus: "Although the evolutionary factors underlying CMV’s [cytomegalovirus] species-specificity are not entirely known, there has never been a documented case in the wild or in a laboratory of a successful cross-species CMV infection."

Too bad this probably won't work with the worst virus in the herpes family, Cytomegalovirus, for the same reason our immune system struggles to keep up with it.

That said, I have seen studies that show a correlation between CFS symptoms and active infections of several viruses including Epstein-Barre, Cytomegalovirus, and Human Herpesvirus 6.

), they reference a previous rodent biodistribution study conducted by Moderna for mRNA-1647 (which is for CMV aka Cytomegalovirus, not covid) and the sort of detailed breakdown of biodistribution given in the Japanese Pfizer doc isn't included.
