Virologist Viktor Zuev talks about the pathogens of acute, latent and so-called slow infections (AIDS, viral hepatitis, etc.), the mechanisms of their development and spread. The infamous Alzheimer’s disease refers to slow infections: the discovery of the herpes simplex virus type 1 in 90% of brain plaques in patients led to the creation of a new theory of the disease, and therefore to the development of new drugs. The history of the discovery of viruses is impressive – many names of scientists and interesting details, laboratory data and unknown facts. Professor Zuev is responsible for the discovery of a slow influenza infection, as well as the aging factor in the body of mammals, including humans. So all information is first-hand.
