AB  - The  Herpesviridae  is  composed  of  large,  enveloped,  double-stranded  DNA  viruses.  Eight  human  herpesviruses  (HHVs)  and  a  very  large  number  of  animal  herpesvirsues  have  been  identified.  The  HHVs  include:  herpes  simplex  virus-1  (HSV-1)  and  HSV-2,  which  cause  facial  and  genital  lesions;  varicella-zoster  virus  (VZV),  which  causes  chickenpox  and  shingles;  Epstein-Barr  virus  (EBV),  an  infectious  cause  of  mononucleosis  and  Burkitt  lymphoma  (BL);  cytomegalovirus  (CMV),  a  leading  cause  of  congenital  blindness;  HHV  types  6  and  7  (HHV-6  and  HHV-7),  which  cause  roseola;  and  Kaposi  Sarcoma  (KS)-associated  herpesvirus  (KSHV),  also  known  as  HHV-8  (Table  14–1).  In  addition,  the  simian  herpesvirus,  herpes  B  virus,  has  occasionally  caused  lethal  human  disease  in  primate  center  workers.
