Difference between Herpesviridae and Virus

Herpesviridae vs. Virus

Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals, including humans. A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.

Similarities between Herpesviridae and Virus
