Simian varicella virus (SVV) is a Varicellovirus (a Genus of Subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae) which expresses an HHV LAT homolog known as SVV LAT, and an HHV ICP0 analog known as SVV-ORF61 (Open Reading Frame).
Simian varicella virus (SVV) is a type of herpesvirus, specifically belonging to the Varicellovirus genus within the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily. It possesses two key proteins: SVV LAT, which resembles the HHV LAT protein, and SVV-ORF61, which functions similarly to the HHV ICP0 protein.
