Family: Herpesviridae
Chapter Version: ICTV Ninth Report; 2009 Taxonomy Release
For details of Virion properties, Genome organization and replication, Antigenic properties and Species demarcation criteria, refer to Order Herpesvirales.
Biological properties
Current members of family Herpesviridae have hosts that include reptiles, birds and mammals.
Subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae
Taxonomic structure of the subfamily
Subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae
Genus Iltovirus
Genus Mardivirus
Genus Simplexvirus
Genus Varicellovirus
Distinguishing features
The nucleotide sequences or predicted amino acid sequences of subfamily members form a distinct lineage within the family. A region of the genome comprising the unique short sequence (US) and flanking internal and terminal inverted repeats (IRS and TRS) contains genes homologous to those found in HHV-1 and characteristic of the subfamily. The viruses productively infect fibroblasts in culture and epithelial cells in vivo. Many members cause overt, usually vesicular epithelial lesions in their natural hosts.
Genus Iltovirus
Type species Gallid herpesvirus 1
Distinguishing features
Predicted amino acid sequences of the members of this genus place them in a lineage distinct from other genera within the subfamily. Members have birds as hosts.

Genus Mardivirus
Type species Gallid herpesvirus 2
Distinguishing features
Nucleotide sequences or predicted amino acid sequences of members of the genus form a distinct lineage within the subfamily. Members have been found only in birds and are the only members of the subfamily associated with malignancy. For at least GaHV-2, production of infectious extracellular virus appears to be limited to feather-follicle epithelium. Members may cross-react serologically.

Subfamily Betaherpesvirinae
Taxonomic structure of the subfamily
Subfamily Betaherpesvirinae
Genus Cytomegalovirus
Genus Muromegalovirus
Genus Proboscivirus
Genus Roseolovirus
Distinguishing features
The nucleotide or predicted amino acid sequences of the subfamily members form a distinct lineage within the family. Genes corresponding to the HHV-5 US22 gene family are characteristic of the subfamily. The viruses tend to be species-specific and cell-type-specific in culture. The growth cycle is slow and virus tends to remain cell-associated. Infection is often clinically non-apparent in immune-competent hosts. In some instances, latent infection has been associated with cells of the monocyte series.
Genus Cytomegalovirus
Type species Human herpesvirus 5
Biological properties
The nucleotide or predicted amino acid sequences of members of the genus form a distinct lineage within the subfamily. Cytomegalovirus genomes are large (>200 kbp). Members of the genus have mammals as hosts. Infections with these viruses generally result in a marked increase in cell volume (cytomegalia) and development of prominent and distinctive nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions.

Subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae
Taxonomic structure of the subfamily
Subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae
Genus Lymphocryptovirus
Genus Macavirus
Genus Percavirus
Genus Rhadinovirus
Distinguishing features
The nucleotide or predicted amino acid sequences of the subfamily members form a distinct lineage within the family. Certain genes may be unique to members of the subfamily. These include BNRF-1, BTRF-1 and BRLF-1 of HHV-4 (the corresponding ORFs of saimiriine herpesvirus 2 are ORFs 3, 23 and 50, respectively). Many members of the subfamily infect lymphocytes in vitro, and “carrier” cultures can be established in which a minority of cells is productively infected. Latent infection in vivo occurs in lymphocytes or lymphoid tissue. Acute infection is frequently associated with lymphoproliferative disorders and many members of the subfamily are associated with malignancies of lymphoid and non-lymphoid origin.
Genus Lymphocryptovirus
Type species Human herpesvirus 4
Biological properties
The nucleotide or predicted amino acid sequences of members of the genus form a distinct lineage within the subfamily. The Epstein–Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) genes of HHV-4 and their homologs appear to be unique to members of the genus. The viruses infect B lymphocytes in culture but infection is usually non-productive and can result in immortalization. B cells or their precursors are thought to be the site of latent infection in vivo. Current members of the genus have been found only in primates.

Phylogenetic relationships within the family
Members of the Herpesviridae can be readily and reliably assigned to one of the three subfamilies on the basis of relationships among any of several conserved proteins, e.g. the DNA polymerase. Many elements of gene content and gene order are conserved at the subfamily level.
For Derivation of names, Further reading and Contributors, refer to Order Herpesvirales.
