Abstract
The herpesviruses are a group of large DNA viruses, originally defined by their characteristic virion structure. On the basis of genome sequences they have been assigned to an order, Herpesvirales, containing three families: the Herpesviridae, infecting mammals, birds and reptiles; the Alloherpesviridae, infecting amphibians and fish; and the Malacoherpesviridae, populated only by an oyster virus. Viruses in the Herpesviridae are descended from a common ancestor, as are those in the Alloherpesviridae, but connections between the families are tenuous.
