Despite effective antiviral therapy, infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a critical public health issue, particularly genital herpes by its social and psychological burden and its contribution to the neonatal herpes and possibly to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Many prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination approaches have been explored but no effective vaccine is presently available. In fact, as members of the Herpesviridae family, both HSV-1 and 2 types have genes involved in immune evasion.
Further research is needed to define determinants of immunity in order to design more effective vaccines.
尽管有有效的抗病毒治疗,但单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)感染仍是一个关键的公共卫生问题,尤其是生殖器疱疹,因其带来的社会和心理负担以及对新生儿疱疹的影响,还可能与艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行有关。
人们已经探索了许多预防性和治疗性疫苗接种方法,但目前尚无有效的疫苗。事实上,作为疱疹病毒科的成员,HSV - 1型和2型都有参与免疫逃避的基因。
需要进一步研究来确定免疫决定因素,以便设计出更有效的疫苗。
