Introduction:HerpessimplexisanenvelopedDNAvirus(150-200nmindiameter)belongingtothealpha-herpesviridae.Basedonantigenic,biochemicalandBIOLOGicallydifferencesitcanbedividedintotwoSEROtypes,HSV-1andHSV-2.Manistheonlyknownnaturalhostandsourceofthevirus.HSVtype1typicallycausesoralherpes,whileHSVtype2typicallyaffectsthegenitalarea.Mostofthetime,HSV-1andHSV-2areinactive,or“silent”,andcausenosymptoms,butsomeinfectedpeoplehave“outbreaks”ofblistersandulcers.OnceinfectedwithHSV,peopleremaininfectedforlife.Herpessimplexvirusesareamongstthemostcommoninfectiousagentsofman,andeitherHSVtypeappearstobecapableofinfectingsimilarbodysites.Ahighpercentageoftheadultpopulation
