association of two newly recognized herpesviruses with interstitial pneumonia in donkeys (equus asinus).	over a period of 6 years, antemortem and postmortem examinations were performed on a number of donkeys suffering from respiratory disease. for many cases, initial diagnostic efforts failed to identify an etiology consistent with the pathologic findings. however, retrospective examination of these cases using consensus primer polymerase chain reaction, designed to recognize herpesviruses from all 3 subfamilies of the herpesviridae, amplified a fragment of the highly conserved herpesvirus dna poly ...	2002	12152805
detection and nucleotide sequencing of a dna-packaging protein gene of equine gammaherpesviruses.	in previous studies, novel putative viral pathogens designated that asinine herpesvirus 4 (ashv4) and asinine herpesvirus 5 (ashv5) were associated with fatal interstitial pneumonia in donkeys (equus asinus). nucleotide sequence analysis of a portion of the dna polymerase gene identified these putative pathogens as herpesviruses and possibly as members of the gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. although similar to equine herpesvirus 2 (ehv2) and equine herpesvirus 5 (ehv5), sequence diversity was obse ...	2004	14974850
