The virus is in the genus Varicellovirus, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, family Herpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales.[2]
It is less studied than some of the other ruminant viruses in the genus Varicellovirus including Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), and research conflicts about its level of species specificity and its ability to cause bovine infection and illness.[3][4][5] Like many other members of its genus, CpHV-1 has been shown to replicate in the respiratory tract and to cause latent infections.[1] There is not currently a vaccine.[6]
