The study of non-human primate herpesviruses has become increasingly important in recent years as these agents have been used as models for studies of human disease caused by herpesviruses. This report is a compilation of information thus far accumulated on these viral agents, and includes material on isolation, cultural characteristics, host range and serological properties, some of which lends to subgrouping of the viruses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
