Role of a Porcine Herpesvirus, PCMV/PRV, in Xenotransplantation. [PDF]
Transpl IntXenotransplantation using pig organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine viruses that could cause disease in recipients. A well-known example is the porcine cytomegalovirus, which is actually a porcine roseolovirus, hence abbreviated as ...

Porcine Lymphotropic Herpesvirus (PLHV) Was Not Transmitted During Transplantation of Genetically Modified Pig Hearts into Baboons. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciPorcine lymphotropic herpesviruses -1, -2, and -3 (PLHV-1, PLHV-2, and PLHV-3) are gammaherpesviruses that are widespread in pigs. These viruses are closely related to the human pathogens Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus
