Appendix B-V: Animal Viral Etiologic Agents in Common Use
The following list of animal etiologic agents is appended to the list of
human etiologic agents. None of these agents is associated with disease in
healthy adult humans; they are commonly used in laboratory experimen-
tal work.
A containment level appropriate for RG1 human agents is recommended
for their use. For agents that are infectious to human cells, e.g., amphotropic
and xenotropic strains of murine leukemia virus, a containment level appro-
priate for RG2 human agents is recommended.
Baculoviruses
Herpesviruses
