Probing the biologic mystique of the herpesvirus family, we find elements of antigenic similarity, the capacity of virions to persist within our cells in complete form, and the potential at some later time for these virions to undergo renewed replication. A venereal mode of transmission from one host to another may be characteristic of some of these viruses. Similar patterns of illness may be produced by several of the herpesviruses. Within the cellular framework of inflammation and necrosis which infective virus may evoke in the host, there may also reside the capability of neoplastic transformation.
探究疱疹病毒家族的生物学奥秘，我们发现了抗原相似性的元素、病毒粒子以完整形式在我们细胞内持续存在的能力，以及这些病毒粒子在以后某个时间进行重新复制的可能性。从一个宿主传播到另一个宿主的性传播方式可能是其中一些病毒的特征。几种疱疹病毒可能会产生相似的疾病模式。在感染性病毒可能在宿主中引发的炎症和坏死的细胞框架内，也可能存在肿瘤转化的能力。
