Transmission of human herpesvirus 8: an update
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2007Human herpesvirus 8 is associated with neoplastic diseases in the immunocompromised host, including Kaposi's sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease and primary effusion lymphoma. Acquisition and control of human herpesvirus 8 infection have not yet been fully elucidated.

Human herpesvirus (HHV) 8 or Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the newest member of the HHV family, discovered almost a decade ago in Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) tissue (1, 2, 3). Since it was first identified in KS and is linked to this disease, it is thus termed KSHV.

Human herpesvirus 8 and human herpesvirus 2 infections in prison population
Journal of Medical Virology, 2006AbstractIncarcerated persons have high rates of infectious diseases. Few data on the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in prisoners are available. This multi‐center cross‐sectional study enrolled 973 inmates from eight Italian prisons. Demographic and behavioral data were collected using an anonymous standardized questionnaire and antibodies ...

Human herpesvirus 8: an update
Microbes and Infection, 2004The discovery of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has opened a new field in the biology and in the clinical definition of HHV-8-associated diseases. Various aspects of epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis and treatment of HHV-8 infection are still controversial.

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is very prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, but the role of sexual transmission has not been well characterized. HHV-8 seroprevalence and correlates were evaluated in a cohort of female prostitutes in Mombasa, Kenya ...

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8, KSHV) is a novel virus for which fragments of genomic sequence were identified in 1994. This was done by means of a differential amplification technique applied to the DNA of Kaposi's sarcoma lesions and normal tissues obtained from the same individual.

The molecular genetics of human herpesvirus 8
Hospital Medicine, 2000Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is 10 times commoner in homosexual men than in other transmission groups and is four times more frequent in HIV-positive patients who acquired their infection from blood transfusions than in haemophiliacs.

Mucosal shedding of human herpesvirus 8 in men.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2000BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies suggest that human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is sexually transmitted among men who have sex with men; however, the mode of transmission is unclear.

Abstract Since the discovery of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) 4 years ago, a remarkable amount of data has accumulated on the biology and disease-associations of this virus. There is compelling evidence that HHV-8 is the long sought after agent which causes Kaposi's sarcoma.

Human Herpesvirus 8: Is it a Tumor Virus?
Proceedings of the Association of American Physicians, 1999Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV‐8), also termed Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus, was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) biopsy specimens in 1994. The epidemiological data available to date indicate a strong association of HHV‐8 with KS. It appears that HHV‐8 is necessary for KS development.
