(詳細はGreek ''cyto-'', "cell", and ''megalo-'', "large") is a genus of viruses in the order Herpesvirales, in the family Herpesviridae, in the subfamily Betaherpesvirinae. Human and monkeys serve as natural hosts. There are currently eight species in this genus including the type species human herpesvirus 5. Diseases associated with HHV-5 include mononucleosis, and pneumonias.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://viralzone.expasy.org/all_by_species/180.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Virus Taxonomy: 2014 Release )〕 It is typically abbreviated as CMV. The species that infects humans is commonly known as human CMV (HCMV) or human herpesvirus-5 (HHV-5), and is the most studied of all cytomegaloviruses. Within ''Herpesviridae'', CMV belongs to the ''Betaherpesvirinae'' subfamily, which also includes the genera ''Muromegalovirus'' and ''Roseolovirus (HHV-6 and HHV-7)''. It is related to other herpesviruses within the subfamilies of ''Alphaherpesvirinae'' that includes herpes simplex viruses (HSV)-1 and -2 and varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and the ''Gammaherpesvirinae'' subfamily that includes Epstein–Barr virus.〔 All herpesviruses share a characteristic ability to remain latent within the body over long periods. Although they may be found throughout the body, CMV infections are frequently associated with the salivary glands in humans and other mammals.〔 Other CMV viruses are found in several mammal species, but species isolated from animals differ from HCMV in terms of genomic structure, and have not been reported to cause human disease. ==Taxonomy== Group: dsDNA }} }}〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cytomegalovirus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
