Abstract excerpt
Simian varicella virus (SVV) causes an exanthematous disease in non-human primates which is clinically similar to varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection of humans. In this study, the genetic relatedness of SVV and VZV was confirmed and the location of SVV DNA sequences homologous to VZV restriction endonuclease (RE) fragments and viral genes was determined. VZV DNA RE fragments representing 98.3% of the VZV...
