  • Members of the Herpesviridae family, Herpes simplex virus (HSV) -1 and human and murine cytomegalovirus (HCMV/MCMV), are masters at manipulating host cell death pathways such as apoptosis and necroptosis, in order to successfully spread and establish latency [1-3]. (howhelp.org)
  • both have nodes on the branch leading to recognized species in the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily and should be regarded as new members of that subfamily. (lancs.ac.uk)

  • Estimated dates for branching events in the development of reptilian, avian, and mammalian Alphaherpesvirinae lineages could plausibly be accounted for in part but not completely by ancient coevolution of these virus lines with reptilian lineages and with the development of birds and mammals from reptilian progenitors.
