Integrating Reptilian Herpesviruses into the Family <i>Herpesviridae</i>

Abstract excerpt

The phylogeny of reptilian herpesviruses (HVs) relative to mammalian and avian HVs was investigated by using available gene sequences and by alignment of encoded amino acid sequences and derivation of trees by maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods. Phylogenetic loci were obtained for green turtle HV (GTHV) primarily on the basis of DNA polymerase (POL) and DNA binding protein sequences, and for lung-eye-trachea...
