To determine which of the following diseases is not a viral disease, we need to analyze each option provided.

1. **Herpes**: This disease is caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is classified as a viral disease, specifically a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

2. **SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)**: This is caused by the SARS coronavirus, which is a viral infection. It is related to COVID-19, which is also a viral disease.

3. **Typhoid**: This disease is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It is not caused by a virus, making it a bacterial disease.
