Herpesvirus simplex 1 infects Homo sapiens (Humans). Transmission is predominantly oral-to-oral contact and causes ulcers around the mouth, commonly referred to as "cold sores". Although less common, the virus can also cause genital infections (via oral-genital contact), keratitis (ocular infection) and encephalitis (brain infection). The virus remains latent in the trigeminal ganglia (sensory nerve ganglia).
