After recovery from initial genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, female guinea pigs developed spontaneous recurrent infections characterized by discrete erythematous or vesicular herpetic lesions on the external genital skin. HSV type 2 (HSV2) caused significantly more recurrent infections in guinea pigs than did HSV type 1 (HSV1). HSV2-infected animals demonstrated a significant decline in frequency of recurrences over time. The viral nature of the recurrent lesions was confirmed by recovery of infectious HSV, detection of HSV antigen, and histologic examination. Latent HSV2 could be demonstrated in dorsal root ganglia and external genital skin after recovery from the primary infection. Recurrent genital HSV infection in the guinea pig shares many features with recurrent genital herpes in humans and provides a model for studying the relationship between latency and recurrences and for exploring methods for control of recurrent disease.
