HSV 1 IgG GENLISA™ ELISA

Introduction: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the most common human pathogens, human being are the only natural host. The virus exists in the patients, restoring healthy carriers and forms blisters or scars. They also transmit through fluid, saliva and faeces. The main mode of transmission is direct contact, saliva can be contaminated. Indirect transmission can be through other materials e.g. utensils. HSV infection has now become the world’s fourth largest infectious diseases. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) belongs to the herpes virus family subfamily a virus, the virus particle size of about 180 nm. According to difference in the antigenicity of the virus, it is currently divided into type I and type II. Herpes simplex virus is widespread and has many modes of transmission. HSV type I mainly transmits through direct contact with the skin and mucous membrane. HSV type I infection is more common in the population. In pregnant women suffering from primary herpes virus infection, the virus can pass through the placenta causing fetal congenital infection. If a pregnant woman birth canal is infected it can pass to the baby during delivery causing neonatal infection Therefore, HSV type I antibody detection is of great significance to improve the level of eugenics.
