Abstract
The invention relates to herpesvirus saimiri viruses that are genetically modified by mutations and/or deleting specific essential and non-essential genes. The essential genes are required in replication of viral genes and are needed for viral proliferation. The non-essential genes can represent sites for the insertion of heterologous genetic material.
