No, the names you've cited aren't written in italics because they're common names. If you refer to a virus by its scientific name (e.g. Herpes simplex) then you need to use italics.

might choose that may be useful you yet plenty relies upon on what the virus does, while it rather is customary it would be an much less complicated job to make certain a popularity. in case you're not sure what it does then possibly it rather is named after the scientist who discovers it or the place it first rears its head. sturdy luck!
