 cytomegalovirus (CMV) (from the Greek cyto-, "cell," and megalo-, "large") may be a genus of viruses within the order Herpesvirales, within the family Herpesviridae,[3] within the taxon Betaherpesvirinae. Humans and monkeys function natural hosts. The eight species during this genus embrace the sort species, Human betaherpesvirus five (HCMV, human herpes virus, HHV-5), that is that the species that infects humans. Diseases related to HHV-5 embrace kissing disease, and respiratory disease.[4][5] within the medical literature, most mentions of cytomegalovirus while not any specification refer implicitly to human cytomegalovirus. Human cytomegalovirus is that the most studied of all cytomegaloviruses, at intervals the Herpesviridae, cytomegalovirus belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae taxon, that conjointly includes the genera Muromegalovirus and Roseolovirus (human herpesvirus six and Human betaherpesvirus 7).[7] it's conjointly associated with different herpesviruses at intervals the Alphaherpesvirinae taxon, which has herpes simplex viruses one and a pair of and varicella-zoster virus, and also the Gammaherpesvirinae taxon, which has Epstein–Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. Several species of herpes virus are known and classified for various mammals. the foremost studied is human herpes virus (HCMV), that is additionally called human betaherpesvirus five (HHV-5). different primate cytomegalovirus species embrace great ape herpes virus (CCMV) that infects chimpanzees and orangutans, and simian herpes virus (SCCMV) and macaque herpes virus (RhCMV) that infect macaques; CCMV is understood as each panine beta herpesvirus two (PaHV-2) and pongine betaherpesvirus four (PoHV-4).[8] SCCMV is named cercopithecine betaherpesvirus five (CeHV-5)[9] and RhCMV, Cercopithecine betaherpesvirus eight (CeHV-8).an additional 2 viruses found within the night monkey area unit tentatively placed within the genus herpes virus, and area unit known as herpesvirus mammal genus one and herpesvirus mammal genus three.
