Infection with a recently discovered gammaherpesvirus variant in European badgers, meles meles, is associated with higher relative viral loads in blood
Herpesviruses are ubiquitous pathogens infecting most animals. Although host immunity continually coevolves to combat virulence, viral variants with enhanced transmissibility or virulence occasionally emerge, resulting in disease burdens in host populations. Mustelid gammaherpesvirus 1 (MusGHV-1) is...
