Type Species |
(HHV-3) |
Nucleotide sequences or predicted amino acid sequences of members of the genus form a distinct lineage within the subfamily. Latent infection is established in cells of the sensory nervous system, though latent infection of other sites has also been reported. Members of the genus have been found in a wide range of mammalian hosts. Some members cross-react serologically.

3 The names CeHV-6 and CeHV-7 have been suppressed since these viruses are minor variants of CaHV-9 (Gray and Gusick, 1996).
4 This virus was isolated from captive gazelles but was found to be closely related to EHV-1 and it is assumed that zebras housed in the same area are the primary host (Fukushi, Tomita, Taniguchi, Ochiai, Kirisawa, Matsumura, Yanai, Masegi, Yamaguchi and Hirai, 1997).
