Summary.Bovine Herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) and Caprine Herpesvirus 1 (CapHV-1) are related members of the herpesvirus family. Since their natural hosts are often kept in close contact with each other, concern was raised that a reservoir might be established in the heterologous host in addition to the homologous host. To investigate this possibility, cross-infection experiments with BHV-1 in goats and CapHV-1...
Summary.A 398bp fragment of the capsid protein (VP60) gene of 39 clinical samples of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and 17 of European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV), collected between 1981 and 1995 from 17 countries, was amplified by PCR and directly sequenced. The alignment of the nucleotide sequences and the subsequently constructed phylogenetic tree clearly separated RHDV from EBHSV...
