| herpes virus 1, cercopithecine | A species of simplexvirus that causes vesicular lesions of the mouth in monkeys. When the virus is transmitted to man it causes an acute encephalitis or encephalomyelitis, which is nearly always fatal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, equid | A species of varicellovirus and the aetiologic agent of a disease in horses causing abortion. It may also cause respiratory catarrh in young horses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, gallid | A species of varicellovirus found on every continent and affecting mainly chickens and occasionally pheasants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, human | The type species of simplexvirus causing most forms of non-genital herpes simplex in humans. Primary infection occurs mainly in infants and young children and then the virus becomes latent in the dorsal root ganglion. It then is periodically reactivated throughout life causing mostly benign conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, ranid | A species of the family herpesviridae, whose genus is so far unnamed. It is probably the causative agent of adenoma or adenocarcinoma in the kidneys of certain frogs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 1, suid | A species of varicellovirus producing a respiratory infection in swine, its natural host. It also produces an usually fatal encephalomyelitis in cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, foxes, and mink. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, bovine | A species of simplexvirus causing mammillitis in cattle in great britain and south africa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, gallid | A species of an as yet unnamed genus in the family herpesviridae. It is the aetiologic agent of a disease of domestic fowl and wild birds. (12 Dec 1998) |

| herpes virus 2, saimirine | A species, of an as yet unassigned genus, in the subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from squirrel monkeys. It produces malignant lymphomas in inoculated marmosets or owl monkeys. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 3, equid | A species of varicellovirus causing coital exanthema in horses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 3, human | The type species of varicellovirus causing chickenpox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles) in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 4, human | A species of lymphocryptovirus cultivated from cultures of burkitt lymphoma. It is thought to be the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 6, human | The type species of roseolovirus isolated from patients with aids and other lymphoproliferative disorders. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of haematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter nk cell activity. Hhv-6 (hblv) antibodies are elevated in patients with aids, sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain malignancies. Hhv-6 is the cause of exanthema subitum and has been implicated in encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
