Herpes simplex viruses

This reference book examines herpes simplex viruses, looking at how the infections spread, how they are identified, how they develop in the body, and what symptoms they produce. It reviews current treatment approaches and explains how the immune system responds to these viruses and how they avoid it. The book also surveys vaccine research aimed at preventing outbreaks or reducing how often they occur.

It begins with the foundational virology needed to understand the range of disease these viruses cause.
