Environmental factors influence the rate of human herpesvirus type 8 infection in a population with high incidence of classic Kaposi sarcoma [PDF]
, 2006 High prevalence of human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) infection has been reported on the island of Sardinia. Among emigrants from Sardinia, rates of HHV-8 infection are lower than they are in Sardinia and are similar to those observed in the local ...

An alphaherpesvirus exploits antimicrobial beta-defensins to initiate respiratory tract infection [PDF]
, 2020 beta-Defensins protect the respiratory tract against the myriad of microbial pathogens entering the airways with each breath. However, this potentially hostile environment is known to serve as a portal of entry for herpesviruses.

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
