Ex vivo infection of human skin with herpes simplex virus 1 reveals mechanical wounds as insufficient entry portals via the skin surface

n. De La Cruz, M. Moeckel, L. Wirtz, K. Sunaoglu, W. Malter, M. Zinser, D. Knebel-Moersdorf

This study infects human skin ex vivo with HSV-1 to determine if wounding facilitates viral entry, finding that wounding allows particle penetration but not HSV-1 invasion.

Colletotrichum spp. from soybean cause disease on lupin but can also induce plant growth-promoting effects

L. Wirtz, N. S. Massola Junior, R. Rebellato Linhares de Castro, B. Ruge-Wehling, U. Schaffrath, M. Loehrer

The paper investigates cross-virulence between Colletotrichum species from soybean and lupin, finding they can infect each other and induce growth-promoting effects.
