Abstract

Animal and human models of ultraviolet radiation-induced herpes simplex virus disease provide opportunities to study the mechanism of virus latency and reactivation. These models can also be used to study the efficacy of antiviral agents. Prophylactic oral acyclovir altered the development of ultraviolet radiation-induced herpes labialis under both natural and experimental conditions.
