Herpes simplex viruses. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through Herpes simplex viruses,the cause of oral cold sores and genital herpes. The genetic material of each virus is held in a core (magenta) which is surrounded by a protein coat (capsid,green). Herpes simplex is one of the most common viruses to infect humans. It causes small fluid-filled blisters which,if touched,can spread the virus. In the mouth the blisters may persist for weeks. Antiviral drugs may help in the treatment of the condition.
