A Comparative Study of Epstein-Barr Virus Genomes Detected in Tumor, Nasopharyngeal Swab, and Saliva Samples From Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
24 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Specific genetic variations of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have been linked to nasopharyngeal (NP) carcinoma (NPC). Because EBV is shed through saliva, saliva samples are commonly used for EBV genotyping in studies of EBV-associated diseases. However, it remains uncertain whether infection with the same EBV strains occurs across different tissues within a host and whether EBV detected in saliva...
