The human betaherpesviruses, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV; species Human
betaherpesvirus 5) and human herpesviruses 6A, 6B, and 7 (HHV-6A,-6B, and-7; species
Human betaherpesviruses 6A, 6B, and 7) are highly prevalent and can cause severe
disease in immune-compromised and immune-naive populations in well-and under-
