| 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 |
