Abstract excerpt

Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is believed to be the aetiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). KS accounts for half the reported cancer cases in Uganda, and occurs in endemic and epidemic [human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated] forms. We confirmed a high prevalence (74%) of HHV-8 antibodies in 114 HIV-negative Ugandan blood donors, and characterized the genomes of HHV-8 strains present in 30 adult Ugandan...
