The 9th International Conference on Human herpesviruses 6 and 7 (HHV‐6A, HHV‐6B, and HHV‐7) was held at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts from November 9 to 11, 2015. Important new information was presented regarding: the biology of these viruses, particularly HHV‐6A and HHV‐6B; the biology and epidemiology of inherited chromosomally integrated HHV‐6A/B; improved diagnostic tests; animal models for studying HHV‐6 and HHV‐7, and animal viruses with similarities to HHV‐6 and HHV‐7; established and possible disease associations; and new approaches to treatment. Here, we summarize work of particular interest. J. Med. Virol. 88:2038–2043, 2016 . © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
