Highlights

  • Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) develops an annual incidence of 2.3 million people worldwide, which can lead to life-long latent infections, asymptomatic and reactivations [1,2], and with occasional symptomatic episodes causing ulcerative lesions in the genitalia and naus [3]

  • The safety and application prospects of DNA vaccines are unquestionable, clinical trial of the HSV-2 vaccine has shown that its effectiveness in the total population is only 38% [10], and it is still ineffective for most populations [11,12]

  • HSV-2 glycoprotein D (gD) and gB DNA vaccine can have a certain preventive effect on HSV-1 strains, but only in HSV-1 and HSV2 serotype double-negative population to prevent 73% of people infected with HSV-2, and was invalid in protect men [12]
