Analysis by BLAST of the publicly available 20% of the
viral genome was in agreement with our previous findings,
showing that CyHV-3-DNA is divergent from all other known
viruses [8]. Analysis of all the viral genome sequences available
in the databases shows that there are no fragments longer than
45 bp which are similar to the sequences in all other viral genomes
except those of CyHV-1 and CyHV-2 [9]. Many of these
small fragments are found in genomic sequences of the Herpesviridae,
Adenoviridae, Baculoviridae and Poxviridae families
