Ugandan Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Phylogeny: Evidence for Cross-Ethnic Transmission of Viral Subtypes

1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test the relationship between Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) phylogeny and host ethnicity at the within-country scale. METHODS: KSHV genomic DNA samples were isolated from 31 patients across eleven Ugandan ethnic groups. Amino acid sequences of the ORF-K1 gene were used to construct a neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree. RESULTS: A5 and B1 variants...
