Until fairly recently, genome-wide evolutionary dynamics and within-host diversity were
more commonly examined in the context of small viruses than in the context of large double …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the beta-herpesvirus family, is the most
common cause of congenital infection worldwide as well as an important cause of morbidity …

Primary infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) results in a lifelong infection due to
its ability to establish latent infection, with one characterized viral reservoir being …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is under constant selective pressure from the immune
system in vivo. Study of HCMV genes that have been lost in the absence of, or genetically …

Summary Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV‐1) causes respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal
death and neurological disease in equines and is endemic in most countries. The viral …

The tropism of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is influenced by the envelope glycoprotein
complexes gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128-131. During virion assembly, gO and the UL128 …

Human herpesviruses 6-A and-B (HHV-6A, HHV-6B) are ubiquitous in human populations
worldwide. These viruses have been associated with several diseases such as multiple …

Background Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has a double-stranded DNA genome of
approximately 235 Kbp that is structurally complex including extended GC-rich repeated …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) persistence in infected individuals relies on a plethora of
mechanisms to efficiently reduce host immune responses. To that end, HCMV uses a variety …

Feline herpes virus type 1 (FHV-1) is widely considered to be the leading cause of ocular
