double-stranded DNA genomes and express a large of envelope, tegument, and capsid proteins. At least five of the nine known human herpesviruses are particularly widespread, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella zoster virus (VZV), and Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) (Grinde 2013). In addition to human herpesviruses, one of the most important viruses linked to cattle diseases is Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) (Nandi, et al. 2009). This research topic explores the transmission, pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and treatment of herpesviruses.Human herpesvirus reactivation remains an extremely interesting and complex topic of research. The EBV trans-activator, ZEBRA (also known as Zta, Z, EB1, encoded by EBV gene BZLF1) was discovered 40 years ago (Countryman and Miller 1985)
