Morphofunctional changes in guinea pig ovaries in experimental chronic herpesvirus infection

Abstract

The ovaries of adult guinea pigs infected with herpesvirus-2 were examined by light microscopy under conditions of latent infection and relapse of infectious process. Morphofunctional changes in the ovarian follicles at all stages of folliculogenesis and in ovarian stroma were caused by the negative effects of type 2 herpes simplex virus.
