The prevalence of human herpesvirus 8 in normal, premalignant, and malignant cervical samples of Iranian women

Virology Journal, 2021
Background Regard to this fact that the main transmission route of HPV and HHV-8 is via sexual activity, it is reasonable to speculate that coinfection of HPV and HHV-8 may have been played an important role in the development of cervical cancer. The aim

Seroprevalence and molecular diversity of Human Herpesvirus 8 among people living with HIV in Brazzaville, Congo

Scientific Reports, 2021
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is endemic in Africa, although studies of this infection are rare in Congo. We evaluated seroprevalence and HHV-8 diversity among people living with HIV.

HHV-8 reduces dendritic cell migration through down-regulation of cell-surface CCR6 and CCR7 and cytoskeleton reorganization [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2012
For an efficient immune response against viral infection, dendritic cells (DCs) must express a coordinate repertoire of receptors that allow their recruitment to the sites of inflammation and subsequently to the secondary lymphoid organs in response to ...

Seroepidemiology of the human herpesvirus 8 infection among people living with HIV in Taiwan, 2014–2018

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021
Background: Human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) can be transmitted through unprotected sex as HIV. We aimed to investigate the seroincidence of HHV-8 and associated factors among people living with HIV (PLWH).

Risk factors for high anti-HHV-8 antibody titers (≥1:51,200) in black, HIV-1 negative South African cancer patients: a case control study [PDF]

, 2003
Background: Infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the necessary causal agent in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Infection with HIV-1, male gender and older age all increase risk for KS.

HHV-8 infection and multiple myeloma [PDF]

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1999
Abstract Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman disease. Recently, this gamma-herpes virus was also found in the nonmalignant bone marrow dendritic cells of the ...
