Human Herpesvirus 8: Current Issues [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2003 Although human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the etiologic agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), there are no formal guidelines for the clinical management of HHV-8 infection. In patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the best tool for the prevention of KS.

Human herpesvirus 8 infection [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2003 Human herpesvirus 8, also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is etiologically associated with Kaposi sarcoma and other rare malignancies. Human herpesvirus 8 infection is common in certain areas of Africa and Italy, but occurs in only 0% to 15% of adult populations in North America and Europe. Reports of human herpesvirus 8 prevalence of 3%

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Accepted Article., 2022 Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For
