This study shows that HSV-1 latency and reactivation depend on axonal entry and retrograde transport, with competition among viral particles affecting outcomes.

This study compares HSV-1 and PRV sensitivity to IFN-λ, showing HSV-1's neuron-specific resistance and identifying RSAD2 as a key antiviral factor in neurons.

This study shows PRV hijacks DDX3X in sensory neurons to cause 'mad itch' and immune suppression, aiding viral spread.

This study identifies US3 kinase's role in promoting retrograde transport of nucleocapsids in axons via Akt/mToRC1 signaling during alpha herpesvirus infection.
