herpesvirus
Cold sore cause
Herpesvirus is any of a family of DNA viruses that cause infections in humans and animals, including cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox, shingles, and mononucleosis.
Once infected, the virus remains dormant in the body and may reactivate periodically: The herpesvirus that causes chickenpox can resurface decades later as shingles.
