Dr. Prusty's work has shown that mitochondria are fragmented by herpesviruses.
Your article discusses primary mitochondrial diseases, which are genetic. I have seen four different mitochondrial specialists, because my testing has shown abnormal mitochondrial function. No one can find a genetic cause, but they do believe that my chemo drugs did damage my mitochondria. No one knows what to do with secondary mitochondrial dysfunction, although by far it is more common than primary mitochondrial diseases and is the basis for many diseases of aging.
