Nano-Luciferase complementation assay of human herpesvirus 8 chemo/cytokine-receptor interactions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSome viruses encode proteins that mimic host chemokines and/or cytokines to modulate the host immune responses against infection. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also termed Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), encodes three viral CC-type ...

Novel Human Herpesvirus 8 Subtype D Strains in Vanuatu, Melanesia [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 We show human herpesvirus 8 with diverse molecular subtype D variants to be highly endemic among the Ni-Vanuatu population. Most K1 genes were nearly identical to Polynesian strains, although a few clustered with Australian or Taiwanese strains.
