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

Although cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are species-specific, the study of nonhuman CMVs in
animal models can help to inform and direct research aimed at developing a human CMV …

NKG2D plays a major role in controlling immune responses through the regulation of natural
killer (NK) cells, αβ and γδ T-cell function. This activating receptor recognizes eight distinct …

Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause a variety of health disorders that can lead to
death in immunocompromised individuals and neonates. The HCMV lifecycle comprises …

A wide array of pathogens has the potential to injure the fetus and induce teratogenesis, the
process by which mutations in fetal somatic cells lead to congenital malformations. Rubella …

Cytomegaloviruses are highly host restricted, resulting in cospeciation with their hosts. As a
natural pathogen of rhesus macaques (RM), rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) has therefore …

Herpes viruses persist in the infected host and are transmitted between hosts in the
presence of a fully functional humoral immune response, suggesting that they can evade …

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 …

The use of a number of non-rhesus macaque species, but especially cynomolgus macaques
as a model for HIV-1 vaccine development has increased in recent years. Cynomolgus …

Herpesviruses or herpesviral sequences have been identified in various bat species. Here,
we report the isolation, cell tropism, and complete genome sequence of a novel …
