Gamma-herpesviruses can be found in most primates including Old World an New World monkeys. The gamma-herpesvirinae are grouped into two classes: lymphocryptoviruses (gamma1) and rhadinoviruses (gamma2). The lymphocryptoviruses include Epstein-Barr virus, lymphocryptovirus of rhesus monkeys, and Herpesvirus papio of baboons. Rhadinoviruses that infect New World monkeys include Herpesvirus saimiri, whose natural host is the squirrel monkey, and Herpesvirus ateles, which infects spider monkeys. Rhadinoviruses that infect hominoids and Old World monkeys include Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, also known as HHV-8, and rhesus monkey rhadinovirus.
γ-疱疹病毒可见于大多数灵长类动物,包括旧世界猴和新世界猴。γ-疱疹病毒亚科分为两类:淋巴细胞隐病毒(γ1)和嗜皮瘤病毒(γ2)。淋巴细胞隐病毒包括爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒、恒河猴淋巴细胞隐病毒和狒狒疱疹病毒。感染新世界猴的嗜皮瘤病毒包括以松鼠猴为自然宿主的猴疱疹病毒,以及感染蜘蛛猴的蛛猴疱疹病毒。感染类人猿和旧世界猴的嗜皮瘤病毒包括卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(也称为HHV-8)和恒河猴嗜皮瘤病毒。
