摘要：Herpesviruses of humans and animals cause severe diseases that influence not only the health and epidemiological statusbut are also economically important in the context of food production. The members of Herpesviridae are host specificagents that also share many properties that potentially make them capable of crossing the species barriers. The objective ofpresented review paper was to summarize the relationship between herpesviruses of animals and humans and their zoonoticpotential. In humans, the most epidemiologically important herpesviruses are represented by Human herepesvirus-1 andHuman herpesvirus-2, which are commonly known as herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, varicella-zooster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), as well as Human herpesviruses:HHV-6A, HHV-6B, and HHV-7. However, in terms of the potential to cross the species barrier, there are a few herpesviruses,including B virus disease (CeHV-1), Marek’s disease virus (MDV), Equid herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) or pseudorabies virus (PRV), whichare potentially able to infect different hosts. To summarize, in advantageous conditions the host specific herpesviruses maypose a threat for public health but also may exert a negative impact on the economical aspects of animal production. Themost probable of these are zoonotic infections caused by B virus disease; however, close contact between infected animalhosts and humans may lead to transmission and replication of other Herpesviridae members.
