Genome-Wide Sequence Analysis of Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Shows Diversification Driven by Recombination
14 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes lifelong infection in the human host and has been associated with a variety of malignancies. KSHV displays striking geographic variation in prevalence, which is highest in sub-Saharan Africa. The current KSHV genome sequences available are all tumor cell line-derived or primary tumor-associated viruses, which have provided valuable insights into...
