The relevance of mixed genital infections in our area was evaluated, and we report their clinical and epidemiological features for both viral types. We evaluated overall 54 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates from 44 patients seen at the clinic of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) of the Sevilla School of Medicine during 1986 and 1987. The identification of the isolated strains was made by direct immunofluorescence with type-specific monoclonal antibodies. In those isolates where we detected both viral types confirmation was obtained with the endonuclease analysis: Hind III and Xho I. Four mixed infections were diagnosed, representing 7% of all HVS isolates of genital origin. Two were classified as initial nonprimary infections, and the remaining two were asymptomatic infections. Two patients showed simultaneous infections by other organisms.

Genome isomerism of avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILT) and Herpesvirus saimiri-1 (HVS-1) (formerly H. tamarinus) was investigated using restriction endonuclease analysis and scanning densitometry. ILT DNA was found to have 2 isomers with a molecular weight of 109 X 10(6). HVS-1 DNA was found to have four isomers with a molecular weight of 102 X 10(6).

Four herpesviruses were previously isolated from four outbreaks of lethal disease in owl monkeys. All four isolates have been shown to be antigenically closely related to each other and to Herpesvirus saimiri 1 (HVS-1) by kinetic neutralizations. The owl monkey strains also share similarities to HVS-1 and to each other with respect to host range, growth cycles and molecular weights of peptides and of DNA fragments generated by restriction endonuclease (R.E.) digestion. R.E. analysis, however, can differentiate strains by the use of certain enzymes. All four isolates share a common G-C ratio percentage with HVS-1 of 67 per cent. On the basis of these findings, we believe that these owl monkey virus isolates are strains of HVS-1.

To develop informative tools for the study of population affinities in African Americans, we sequenced the hypervariable segments I and II (HVS I and HVS II) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 96 Sierra Leoneans; European Americans; rural, Gullah-speaking African Americans; urban African Americans living in Charleston, South Carolina; and Jamaicans. We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) exhibiting ethnic affinities, and developed restriction endonuclease tools to screen these SNPs. Here we show that three HVS restriction site polymorphisms (RSPs), EcoRV, FokI, and MfeI, exhibit appreciable differences in frequency (average delta = 0.4165) between putative African American parental populations (i.e., extant Africans living in Sierra Leone and European Americans). Estimates of European American mtDNA admixture, calculated from haplotypes composed of these three novel RSPs, show a cline of increasing admixture from Gullah-speaking African American (m = 0.0300) to urban Charleston African American (m = 0.0689) to West Coast African American (m = 0.1769) populations. This haplotype admixture in the Gullahs is the lowest recorded to date among African Americans, consistent with previous studies using autosomal markers. These RSPs may become valuable new tools in the study of ancestral affinities and admixture dynamics of African Americans.
