Health / Epstein Barr Virus Complete GuideEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gamma herpes virus that is best known for being the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis in man. Epstein-Barr virus transforms latently infected primary cells from healthy individuals into cancerous ones, thereby causing important human cancers such as B-cell neoplasms (e.g. Burkitt’s lymphoma and Post-transplant lymphomas), certain forms of T-cell lymphoma, and some epithelial tumours (e.g. gastric carcinomas ,nasopharyngeal carcinomas).Reference Epstein Barr Virus Complete Guide |
