The Herpesviridae is a family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in humans and animals. The family name is derived from the Greek herpein ("to creep"), referring to the latent, re-occurring infections typical of this group of viruses. Herpesviridae can cause latent or lytic infections.
Human herpesviridae
There are eight types of viruses in this family known to cause disease in humans. These viruses are (HHV stands for human herpesviruses):
- HHV-1 = HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus 1): causes oral and/or genital herpes (predominantly orofacial)
- HHV-2 = HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus 2): causes oral and/or genital herpes (predominantly genital)
- HHV-3 = VZV (varicella zoster virus): causes chickenpox and shingles
- HHV-4 = EBV (Epstein-Barr virus), lymphocryptovirus: causes infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma
- HHV-5 = CMV (cytomegalovirus): causes infectious mononucleosis, retinitis, etc.
- HHV-6 = Human B-cell lymphotrophic virus or roseolovirus: causes "sixth disease" (known as roseola infantum or exanthem subitum)
- HHV-7 = closely related to HHV-6; causes roughly the same symptoms
- HHV-8 = a type of rhadinovirus = KSHV = Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus: causes Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and some types of multicentric Castleman's disease
