👉 Herpesviruses are a group of viruses that cause various types of viral infections, including genital herpes (HSV), cold sores, and genital warts. They are classified into three main families based on their structure: orfonsinovirales, helminthivirales, and bunyavirales. Herpesviruses are also known as "herpes" viruses due to the characteristic appearance of the lesions they cause (e.g., genital warts).
