We sequenced seven herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) clinical isolates circulating between 2000 and 2014 in Finland. Few HSV2 virus isolates have been sequenced from Europe, particularly from Nordic countries. These sequences expand our knowledge of the global sequence diversity of HSV2 sequences and help elucidate total variation between geographic regions.

All HSV2 clinical isolate genomes have been deposited at GenBank (KY922720-KY922726), and the raw reads have been submitted to the SRA (SRX30815609, SRX30815610, SRX30815611, SRX30815612, SRX30815608, SRX30815614, SRX30815613).
