| identification of a gammaherpesvirus belonging to the malignant catarrhal fever group of viruses in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra p. pyrenaica). | high prevalence (46 %) of a gammaherpesvirus was confirmed by molecular detection in the lungs of hunted pyrenean chamois. the partial glycoprotein b sequence up to the dna polymerase gene showed 96.6 % nucleotide sequence identity to the rupicapra rupicapra gammaherpesvirus 1 and 81.5 % to ovine herpesvirus 2. this novel sequence clusters within sequences derived from the malignant catarrhal fever group of viruses, and the corresponding virus is tentatively named rupicapra pyrenaica gammaherpes ... | 2016 | 27535412 |
