Human Cytomegalovirus Genome Diversity in Longitudinally Collected Breast Milk Samples

Human Cytomegalovirus Genome Diversity in Longitudinally Collected Breast Milk Samples

Reactivation and shedding of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in breast milk during lactation is highly frequent in HCMV-seropositive mothers. This represents a key transmission route for postnatal HCMV infection and can lead to severe disease in preterm neonates. Little is known about HCMV strain compo...
