only one of two available genomic RhCMV sequences (Table 1). The sequences of
UL146 and UL147 derived from numerous clinical HCMV isolates showed an
extensive level of variability. This variability was significant among interindividual
strains (Hassan-Walker et al. 2004; Stanton et al. 2004). However, the sequence of
