A comprehensive assay for the identification of all eight human herpesviruses has been previously reported. This assay was extended to the detection and species-level identification of herpes B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) and African green monkey cytomegalovirus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 5), two herpesviruses of relevance to the clinical virology laboratory.
