Herpesviruses

  • Chapter

Abstract

The herpesvirus family (herpes, in Greek, means crawling or creeping, like a snake) named Herpesviridae, consists of viruses that have a similar morphology, but with a host range varying from lower vertebrates (reptiles, fish, and frogs) to humans. These viruses differ from each other antigenically and in the G + C content and organization of the viral DNA.
