A strain of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) was isolated from zebra. This strain, called "zebra-borne EHV-1", was also isolated from an onager and a gazelle in zoological gardens in U.S.A. The full genome sequences of the 3 strains were determined. They shared 99% identities with each other, while they shared 98% and 95% identities with the horse derived EHV-1 and equine herpesvirus type 9, respectively. Sequence data indicated that the EHV-1 isolated from a polar bear in Germany is one of the zebra-borne EHV-1 and not a recombinant virus. These results indicated that zebra-borne EHV-1 is a subtype of EHV-1.
从斑马中分离出一株1型马疱疹病毒(EHV-1)。该毒株被称为“斑马传播的EHV-1”,在美国动物园的一头野驴和一只瞪羚中也分离到了该毒株。测定了这3个毒株的全基因组序列。它们彼此之间的序列一致性为99%,而与源自马的EHV-1和9型马疱疹病毒的序列一致性分别为98%和95%。序列数据表明,从德国一只北极熊中分离出的EHV-1是斑马传播的EHV-1之一,而非重组病毒。这些结果表明,斑马传播的EHV-1是EHV-1的一个亚型。
