Abstract
Breastfeeding has a major impact on HCMV epidemiology. The incidence of postnatal HCMV reactivation during lactation equals the maternal seroprevalence. Infectious virus, viral DNA and RNA can be isolated easily from cell and fat-free milk whey. Early onset of viral DNAlactia and virolactia as well as high viral load in milk whey are maternal risk factors for virus transmission.
The dynamics of HCMV reactivation can be described by unimodal kinetics with interindividual variation. Virus reactivation during lactation is a self-limiting local process in the absence of systemic HCMV infection.
