Rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) infection of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) is a
valuable nonhuman primate model of human CMV (HCMV) persistence and pathogenesis …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of an ancient family of viruses (Herpesviridae),
has acquired the capacity to maintain a lifelong persistent infection within an …

Highlights•Nonhuman primate (NHP) CMVs are most closely related to human CMV
(HCMV).•Rhesus CMV (RhCMV) bears numerous genomic and functional similarities to …

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are highly adapted to their host species resulting in strict
species specificity. Hence, in vivo examination of all aspects of CMV biology employs animal …

Implicit with the use of animal models to test human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) vaccines is the
assumption that the viral challenge of vaccinated animals reflects the anticipated virus-host …

Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) are highly species-specific due to millennia of co-evolution and
adaptation to their host, with no successful experimental cross-species infection in primates …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a highly species-specific virus that has co-evolved with its host
over millions of years and thus restricting cross-species infection. To examine the extent to …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes and maintains a lifelong persistence following
infection in an immunocompetent host. The determinants of a stable virus-host relationship …

We previously reported that long-term rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) excretion in
infected macaques was related to UL/b′ coding content. Acute biopsy specimens of the …

Background Human infants frequently acquire human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) through
breastfeeding, resulting in persistent high-level viral shedding in saliva and urine and …
