The molecular phylogeny of macropodid herpesviruses 1 and 2 (MaHV-1 and -2) has been investigated by cloning and sequencing the genes encoding glycoprotein B from both viruses. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on the putative amino acid sequences of glycoprotein B indicate that MaHV-1 and -2 are most closely related to the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. Within the Alphaherpesvirinae, MaHV-1 and -2 are closely associated with those herpesviruses that infect primates. This phylogenetic relationship does not fit the constraints of the proposed co-evolution theory described for other members of the Alphaherpesvirinae which have mammalian hosts.
通过克隆和测序编码两种病毒糖蛋白B的基因，对大袋鼠疱疹病毒1型和2型（MaHV-1和MaHV-2）的分子系统发育进行了研究。基于糖蛋白B推测氨基酸序列的系统发育重建表明，MaHV-1和MaHV-2与α疱疹病毒亚科关系最为密切。在α疱疹病毒亚科中，MaHV-1和MaHV-2与感染灵长类动物的疱疹病毒密切相关。这种系统发育关系不符合针对具有哺乳动物宿主的α疱疹病毒亚科其他成员所描述的共同进化理论的限制。
