Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes genetically diverse K1 alleles which have unique geographic distributions. Little is known about K1 genetic diversity in Zimbabwe where acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-associated KS (AIDS-KS) is epidemic. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate K1 diversity in Zimbabwe and compare Zimbabwean K1 diversity to other areas in Africa. STUDY DESIGN: K1 nucleotide...
