Abstract
Persistent viruses present some particular problems for vaccine design. As for acute non-persistent viruses, the prime goal of a vaccine should be to prevent primary infection. Vaccines might also be used to modify the course of established persistent virus infections - so-called postinfective immunisation. This chapter deals with selected persistent DNA viruses, in particular the human herpes viruses.Entities:
