| the first endogenous herpesvirus, identified in the tarsier genome, and novel sequences from primate rhadinoviruses and lymphocryptoviruses. | herpesviridae is a diverse family of large and complex pathogens whose genomes are extremely difficult to sequence. this is particularly true for clinical samples, and if the virus, host, or both genomes are being sequenced for the first time. although herpesviruses are known to occasionally integrate in host genomes, and can also be inherited in a mendelian fashion, they are notably absent from the genomic fossil record comprised of endogenous viral elements (eves). here, we combine paleovirolo ... | 2014 | 24945689 |
| mountain gorilla lymphocryptovirus has epstein-barr virus-like epidemiology and pathology in infants. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) infects greater than 90% of humans, is recognized as a significant comorbidity with hiv/aids, and is an etiologic agent for some human cancers. the critically endangered mountain gorilla population was suspected of infection with an ebv-like virus based on serology and infant histopathology similar to pulmonary reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (prlh), a condition associated with ebv in hiv-infected children. to further examine the presence of ebv or an ebv-like virus in mou ... | 2017 | 28706209 |
