Percavirus is a genus of viruses in the order Herpesvirales, in the family Herpesviridae, in the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae. Mammals serve as natural hosts. Diseases associated with this genus include: conjunctivitis, immunosuppression in foals, pneumonia, respiratory disease.[1][2]
The genus consists of the following species:[2]
- Percavirus equidgamma2, also called Equid gammaherpesvirus 2
- Percavirus equidgamma5, also called Equid gammaherpesvirus 5
- Percavirus felidgamma1, also called Felid gammaherpesvirus 1
- Percavirus mustelidgamma1, also called Mustelid gammaherpesvirus 1
- Percavirus phocidgamma3, also called Phocid gammaherpesvirus 3
- Percavirus rhinolophidgamma1
- Percavirus vespertilionidgamma1, also called Vespertilionid gammaherpesvirus 1
Structure
Viruses in Percavirus are enveloped, with icosahedral, spherical to pleomorphic, and round geometries, and T=16 symmetry. The diameter is around 150-200 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 180kb in length.[1]
