The dl5-29 vaccine is also known under the name ACAM-529 [52] or HSV-529, a replication-defective vaccine that has proved successful in preventing both HSV-2 and HSV-1 infections and in combating the virus in already-infected hosts, in animal models. [53]
ACIP statements are official federal recommendations for the use of vaccines and immune globulins in the U.S., and are published by the CDC. ACIP reports directly to the CDC director, although its management and support services are provided by CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. [1]

Herpes simplex virus 1 (cold sores) and 2 (genital herpes) (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known by their taxonomic names Human alphaherpesvirus 1 and Human alphaherpesvirus 2, are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. [1] [2] Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are very common and ...
The Human alphaherpesvirus 1 virus can be classified into six clades. [2] Four of these occur in East Africa, one in East Asia and one in Europe and North America. This suggests that the virus may have originated in East Africa. The most recent common ancestor of the Eurasian strains appears to have evolved ~60,000 years ago. [3]
Human alphaherpesvirus 2 or Herpes simplex virus 2 (HHV-2 or HSV-2) is a species of virus in the genus Simplexvirus, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, family Herpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales. [ 1 ] Evolution

Nine herpesvirus types are known to primarily infect humans, [7] at least five of which are extremely widespread among most human populations, and which cause common diseases: herpes simplex 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, also known as HHV-1 and HHV-2; both of which can cause orolabial and genital herpes), varicella zoster (or HHV-3; the cause of ...
