Abstract: Described are methods of treating or preventing a virus in a subject comprising administering ozonides to the subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and immunoassays kits for the improved detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods and immunoassays kits differentiate between subjects who have developed a serological response to vaccination against CMV and subjects who have had a natural infection. In some embodiments, the methods and immunoassays kits differentiate between serological responses to different CMV serotypes.

Abstract: The disclosure herein provides compounds of formulas I-V which are useful in the inhibition of viral diseases in a subject. In some embodiments, the compounds of formulas I-V are useful in the inhibition of herpes viruses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of virology. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for prevention and treatment of human cytomegalovirus (CMV). In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprises (a) emetine or a derivative thereof; (b) a human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug; and (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises an adjuvant. In a specific embodiment, the HCMV drug is ganciclovir. In such embodiments, emetine is present at about 1/10 to about 1/100 the normal dosage for amebiasis.
