Neurovirology

Clinical neuroscience, virology, immunology, and molecular biology are all part of Neurovirology, which is an interdisciplinary field. The field's main focus is on viruses that can infect the neurological system. Furthermore, the discipline investigates the use of viruses to trace neuroanatomical circuits, as well as gene therapy and the elimination of harmful populations of brain cells.

Viruses affecting the nervous system:

  • Herpes viruses (Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), Human cytomegalovirus (CMV), Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV))
  • Polyomavirus (JC virus (JCV))
  • Rhabdoviruses (Rabies virus)
  • Paramyxoviruses (Measles virus, Mumps virus)
  • Retroviruses (Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV))
