The Genome of Caprine Herpesvirus 1: Genome Structure and Relatedness to Bovine Herpesvirus 1

Abstract
Caprine herpesvirus 1 (CapHV-1) DNA was examined by electron microscopy, restriction site mapping and homology studies with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) DNA. Although the restriction site maps differed significantly, we showed that the genome structures of CapHV-1 adn BHV-1 were identical and that the DNAs shared a high degree of base sequence homology.
