Influence of HLA Alleles on Shedding of Kaposi Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus in Saliva in an African Population

14 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection in childhood involves mother-to-child transmission and transmission between siblings or other close contacts. Large amounts of viral DNA in saliva have been linked to transmission from mother to child. To investigate factors contributing to the shedding of KSHV in the saliva of mothers in rural South Africa, we...
