a

Positions of the respective ORFs of BoHV-4 are given from the first nucleotide of the start codon ATG to the last nucleotide of the stop codon. 

b

%ID, percent identity of the HHV-8 and HVS ORFs to the indicated BHV-4 ORF was calculated with the GAP program of the GCG package. 

c

ORF designations as used by Lomonte et al. (27).
