Evolution of Bovine herpesvirus 4: recombination and transmission between African buffalo and cattle
Bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) has been isolated from cattle throughout the world, but virological and serological studies have suggested that the African buffalo is also a natural host for this virus. It has previously been found that the Bo17 gene of BoHV-4 was acquired from an ancestor of the African buffalo, probably around 1.5 ...

Viruses are able to evolve in vitro by mutations after serial passages in cell cultures, which can lead to either a loss, or an increase, of virulence. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), a 295-kb double-stranded DNA virus, is the etiological agent of the ...

Phosphoregulation of a Conserved Herpesvirus Tegument Protein by a Virally Encoded Protein Kinase in Viral Pathogenicity and Potential Linkage between Its Evolution and Viral Phylogeny [PDF]
It has been hypothesized that the evolution of protein phosphoregulation drives phenotypic diversity across species of organisms, which impacts fitness during their evolution. However, there is a lack of information regarding linkage between the evolution of viral phosphoregulation and the phylogeny of virus species.

Human Cytomegalovirus Immune Evasion of Natural Killer Cells: A Virus for All Seasons?
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous member of the herpesvirus family, of significant clinical importance, and highly adapted to its host, resulting from millions of years of co-evolution. As a result, the virus systematically subverts almost all

Modulation of cellular signaling by herpesvirus-encoded G protein-coupled receptors
Human herpesviruses are widespread infectious pathogens that have been associated with proliferative and inflammatory diseases. During viral evolution, human herpesviruses have pirated genes encoding viral G protein-coupled receptors (vGPCRs), which are ...

Partial characterisation of pilchard herpesvirus and the associated disease in pilchards [PDF]
In 1995 and again in 1998, millions of pilchards (Sardinops sagax neopilchardus) were found dead or dying off the coast of Australia and also in New Zealand. The epizootics moved progressively, at a rapid speed against the prevailing currents.

Gene expression studies of lytic infection and chromosomal integration of human herpesvirus 6. [PDF]
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was discovered in 1986 in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases and it has a predominant tropism for CD4+ T cells in vitro and in vivo.
