No one whose opinion deserves a moment's consideration can doubt
that most of the great positive evils of the world are in
themselves removable, and will, if human affairs continue to
improve, be in the end reduced to narrow limits. J. S. Mill,
Utilitarianism, II, 1863 Mill was not writing about herpesviruses,
but had he known them as we do, he would have included them among
the great positive evils of the world. They cause disease and
premature death, and are very costly to our society. There is no
loftier aim than to cure or prevent human infections with these
viruses. The objective of much of the current research on
herpesviruses is directed toward an understanding of the molecular
mechanisms involved in initiation of infection, establish ment and
termination of latent state, virus multiplication, and the
destruction of cells which ultimately is the basis of the diseases
caused by these viruses. At no time during the past 80 years, since
members of the herpesvirus family were first discovered, has there
been so much progress in our understanding of the biology of these
viruses as in the past few years. Along with the development of a
greater understanding of the molecular biol ogy of the well-known
herpesviruses we have witnessed the isolation of new human herpes
viruses.
