This review is devoted to the comparative characteristics of human herpesvirus 6A (HHV6A) and human herpesvirus 6B (HHV6B), taking into account their exogenous and endogenous (inherited chromosomally integrated) forms. The analysis of the literature data on the main interspecies differences and intraspecies features of these viruses in molecular-genetic, biological, epidemiological and clinical aspects has been consistently carried out. Modern views about HHV6A and HHV6B, including their unique inherited chromosomal-integrated form, are the basis for organizing a system of epidemiological surveillance of infections caused by these viruses, as well as developing standardized methodological approaches to differential diagnosis, treatment and specific prevention of a wide range of virus-associated diseases. The development of this direction requires a greater evidence base and intensification of joint efforts of the scientific and medical communities. |
