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 …

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 …

Rigorous investigation of many functions encoded by cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) requires
analysis in the context of virus-host interactions. To facilitate the construction of rhesus CMV …

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

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 …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been isolated from many nonhuman primates, including rhesus
macaques (Macaca mulatta). To better understand the molecular biology of rhesus CMV …

Cynomolgus macaques have been widely used as an animal model in preclinical
biomedical research and are becoming more popular among HIV/SIV vaccine researchers …

Rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) is an emerging model for human cytomegalovirus
(HCMV) pathogenesis that facilitates experimental CMV infection of a natural primate host …

ABSTRACT A pathogenic isolate of rhesus cytomegalovirus (rhCMV 180.92) was cloned,
sequenced, and annotated. Comparisons with the published rhCMV 68.1 genome revealed …
