Article Synopsis
- Rodent herpesviruses, including murine cytomegalovirus and murine gammaherpesvirus 68, are studied to understand human herpesvirus diseases, but several types remain unidentified in common rodent hosts like house mice.
- Researchers captured various rodent species across multiple countries and analyzed their tissues and blood for new herpesviruses using specialized PCR techniques.
- They identified 38 novel herpesviruses, including the first gammaherpesvirus specific to house mice (Mus musculus rhadinovirus 1), revealing insights into their evolutionary relationships with other known herpesviruses.
