Editor's Pick Research Article | Host-Microbe BiologyGenotypic and Phenotypic Diversity of Herpes Simplex Virus 2 within the Infected Neonatal PopulationHerpes simplex virus (HSV) causes invasive disease in half of infected neonates, resulting in significant mortality and permanent cognitive morbidity. The factors that contribute to invasive disease are not understood. This study revealed diversity among HSV isolates from infected neonates and detected the first associations between viral genetic variations and clinical disease manifestations. We found that viruses isolated from...
