| a novel gammaherpesvirus isolated from a black-tailed prairie dog (cynomys ludovicianus). | a new gammaherpesvirus, tentatively named cynomys herpesvirus 1 (cynghv-1), was isolated from a black-tailed prairie dog (cynomys ludovicianus). cynghv-1 replicated cytopathogenically to moderate titers in various cell lines. ten kb of the cynghv-1 genome was sequenced using degenerate pcr and genomic cloning. sequence similarities were found to different genes from known gammaherpesviruses. phylogenetic analysis suggested that cynghv-1 was in fact a novel virus closely related to representative ... | 2011 | 21630099 |
