Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is related to a method for determining the efficacy of a chemical compound for treatment of recurrent herpes virus infection, said method comprising: (a) inoculating herpes virus at a primary skin site of a non-human mammal to cause zosteriform spread of the virus through nerve cells to cause lesions at a secondary (distal) site of infection; (b) before the appearance of skin lesions at the secondary site caused by the virus, giving adoptive transfer of immunity (ATI) to the said non-human mammal, so as to provide immunity mimicking the immunological reactivity seen in a recurrent herpes virus infection in a previously infected immune host; (c) administering a chemical compound to be tested to the said non-human mammal; and (d) determining the ability of the said chemical compound to reduce the occurrence and/or severity of herpes virus-induced skin lesions at the secondary site of infection.
