Also known as Alfaherpesvirinae
Alphaherpesvirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Herpesviridae, primarily distinguished by reproducing more quickly than other subfamilies in the Herpesviridae. Mammals serve as natural hosts. There are currently 45 species in this subfamily, divided among 5 genera, with one species unassigned to a genus. Diseases associated with this subfamily include: HHV-1 and HHV-2: skin vesicles or mucosal ulcers, rarely encephalitis and meningitis, HHV-3: chickenpox (varicella) and shingles, GaHV-2: Marek's disease. In animals, Pseudorabies virus is the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease in

In animals, Pseudorabies virus is the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease in pigs, and Bovine herpesvirus 1 is the causative agent of bovine infectious rhinotracheitis and pustular vulvovaginitis.
== Genera == Alphaherpesvirinae consists of the following five genera: Iltovirus Mardivirus Scutavirus Simplexvirus Varicellovirus
