A total of 422 sera collected from children and young adults living in Ibadan, Nigeria, has been examined for the presence of antibodies to type 1 and type 2 herpesvirus hominis. Type 1 antibodies were rapidly acquired from the age of 1 year onwards, reflecting the relatively poor living standards and the overcrowded accommodation among the population studied. Type 2 antibodies were acquired between the ages of 3 and 5 years. It is suggested that non-venereal spread of the virus must be responsible; prolonged survival of the virus on fomites, owing to the high environmental humidity, possibly accounts for this.
对从尼日利亚伊巴丹的儿童和年轻人中采集的422份血清进行了检测,以确定是否存在人1型和2型疱疹病毒抗体。1岁起就迅速获得了1型抗体,这反映了所研究人群相对较差的生活水平和拥挤的居住环境。2型抗体在3至5岁之间获得。有人认为,病毒的非性传播肯定是原因所在;由于环境湿度高,病毒在污染物上能长时间存活,这可能就是原因。
