Herpes B virus (BV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic virus against humans. BV belongs to the genus Simplexvius , the same genus as human herpes simplex virus (HSV). By contrast to HSV, cell entry mechanisms of BV are not fully understood. The research procedures to manipulate infectious BV should be...
