    Study Notes

    Replication and Latency

    • Herpes viruses replicate in the nucleus of the host cell, utilizing the host's cellular machinery for their replication process.
    • These viruses remain latent primarily in nerve ganglia, which allows them to evade the immune system and reactivate at later times.

    Transmission

    • Transmission of herpes viruses requires direct contact with infected lesions, bodily fluids, or mucosal surfaces, emphasizing the importance of close personal interactions.

    Control Methods

    • Effective control methods for herpes viruses include antiviral medications, which can reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks, and preventive strategies like safe sex practices to lower transmission risk.
