Table 4.
Percent identities between each feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) strain isolated from 10 captive cheetahs and that in the Merial MLV or the reference FHV-1 isolate (C-27). In all cases, the percent identity was higher for the MLV strain than for the FHV-1 reference isolate.

| MM-1 | 99.03 | 98.31 |
| MM-2 | 99.04 | 98.32 |
| MM-3 | 99.08 | 98.38 |
