Many new technologies are being developed to fight cancer, among which are gene therapies and oncolytic virotherapies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic DNA virus with many favorable properties both as a delivery vector for cancer therapeutic genes and as a backbone for oncolytic viruses. Herpes simplex virus type 1 is highly infectious, so HSV-1 vectors are efficient vehicles for the delivery of exogenous genetic materials to cells. The inherent cytotoxicity of this virus, if harnessed and made to be selective by genetic manipulations, makes this virus a good candidate for developing viral oncolytic approach. Furthermore, its large genome size, ability to infect cells with a high degree of efficiency, and the presence of an inherent replication controlling mechanism, the thymidine kinase gene, add to its potential capabilities. This review briefly summarizes the biology of HSV-1, examines various strategies that have been used to genetically modify the virus, and discusses preclinical as well as clinical results of the HSV-1-derived vectors in cancer treatment.

Its unique morphological and genomic characteristics allowed us to propose Mimivirus as a member of a new distinct Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses family, the Mimiviridae.

Structural comparison provides insights into protein function and evolution. Here, we review some of the original findings and thoughts that have led to the current established structure-based phylogeny of viruses: starting from the original observation that the major capsid proteins of plant and animal viruses possess similar folds, to the idea that each virus has an innate “self”. This latter idea fueled the conceptualization of the PRD1-adenovirus lineage whose members possess a major capsid protein (innate “self”) with a double jelly roll fold. Based on this approach, long-range viral evolutionary relationships can be detected allowing the virosphere to be classified in four structure-based lineages. However, this process is not without its challenges or limitations.

However, the persistence of CRESS DNA viruses in herds of domestic animals has, in some cases, serious economic consequence. In this study, we describe the diversity of CRESS DNA viruses identified during the metagenomics analysis of fecal samples collected from a single swine herd with apparently healthy animals. A total of nine genome sequences were assembled and classified into two different groups (CRESSV1 and CRESSV2) of the Cirlivirales order (Cressdnaviricota phylum). The novel CRESS DNA viral sequences shared 85.8–96.8% and 38.1–94.3% amino acid sequence identities Citation: Fehér, E.; Mihalov-Kovács, for the Rep and putative capsid protein sequences compared to their respective counterparts with E.; Kaszab, E.; Malik, Y.S.; Marton, S.; extant GenBank record.

With a particle size of 0.7 lm in diameter, and a genome size of 1.2 Mb encoding more than Accepted 6 March 2009 900 proteins, it is the most complex virus described to date. Beyond its unusual size, the Mimivirus gen- Available online 18 May 2009 ome was found to contain the first viral homologues of many genes thought to be the trademark of cel- lular organisms, such as central components of the translation apparatus. These findings revived the Keywords: debate on the origin of DNA viruses, and the role they might have played in the emergence of eukaryotes. Mimivirus Published and ongoing studies on Mimivirus continue to lead to unexpected findings concerning a variety Mimiviridae of aspects, such as the structure of its particle, unique features of its replication cycle, or the distribution Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA virus Sponge and abundance of Mimivirus relatives in the oceans.
