Herpes viruses primarily cause two types of infections: Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. HSV-1 is commonly associated with oral herpes, leading to cold sores, while HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes, resulting in sores in the genital area. Additionally, varicella-zoster virus, another member of the herpes virus family, causes chickenpox and can reactivate later in life to cause shingles. Other herpes viruses can lead to conditions such as mononucleosis and certain types of cancer, like Kaposi's sarcoma.
