Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can result in either productive or non-productive infection, with the latter potentially leading to viral latency. The molecular factors dictating these outcomes are poorly understood. Here we used single-cell transcriptomics to analyse HCMV infection progression in monocytes, which are latently infected, and macrophages, considered to be permissive for productive infection.
