Herpes viruses

Section Editor: Tony Cunningham, The Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Australia​​​​​​​

The Herpes viruses section of Virology Journal includes research articles and reviews on both human and animal herpes viruses. This includes basic, mechanistic, and translational studies of herpes virus biology and pathogenesis. Topics include, but are not limited to, virus biology, virus entry, virus-host interactions, viral pathogenesis, viral cancers, antivirals and vaccines.
