List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Family
Related herpesviruses are classified as distinct species if (a) their nucleotide sequences differ in a readily assayable
and distinctive manner across the entire genome and (b) they occupy different ecological niches by virtue of their distinct
epidemiology and pathogenesis or their distinct natural hosts. A paradigm is provided by HHV-1 and HHV-2, which differ in
their sequence throughout the genome, tend to infect different epithelial surfaces and exhibit distinct epidemiological
characteristics. These two viruses recombine readily in culture, but despite the fact that they can infect the same sites
in the host, no recombinants have been isolated in nature, and the two viruses appear to have evolved independently for
millions of years.

Similarity with other Taxa
Herpesviruses possess several genes (e.g. DNA polymerase, dUTPase) with cellular relatives that are assumed to have
been gained by capture from RNA intermediates. The equivalent feature in certain other virus families results in genetic
similarities that probably indicate independent capture events rather than direct evolutionary relationships. One
speculative exception is the ATPase subunit of the DNA packaging terminase complex in T4 and related dsDNA bacteriophages,
which has distant counterparts in all herpesviruses.
