HHV-6A and HHV-6B may be recognized as two distinct viruses
Phil Pellet, the chair of the Herpesvirales Study Group of the International for Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV, ictvonline.org), announced at the 7th International Conference on HHV-6 & 7 that the Study Group has recommended that HHV-6A and HHV-6B be recognized as two distinct viruses. The final decision will be made by the ICTV Committee this year.
The announcement came a year after a group of 18 leaders in the field of HHV-6 research petitioned the Study Group to officially recognize the two “variants” as separate species.
