Yep. Me again. Can't get it out of my mind that there is a connection with Herpes and Fungus.
Herpes-Type Virus Particles Associated with a Fungus -- Kazama and Schornstein 177 (4050): 696 -- Science
A culture of the fungus Thraustochytrium, isolated from an estuary, was infected by ani enveloped virus. The nucleocapsid measured 110 nanometers in diameter and containied a core of DNA. The virus replicated in the nucleus. These findings strongly suggest that the particles are a herpes-type virus.
