Seroepidemiology of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection in injecting drug users

Epidemiology and Infection, 2009
SUMMARY A cross-sectional study was carried out in injecting drug users (IDUs) from Greece to assess the seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and to identify potentially associated risk factors. A total of 288 IDUs were tested for K8.1 antibodies to HHV-8 lytic antigen.

Multiple human herpesvirus-8 infection [PDF]

, 2003
In Malawian patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and their relatives, we investigated nucleotide-sequence variation in human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) subgenomic DNA, amplified from oral and blood samples by use of polymerase chain reaction.

Mycosis fungoides and Kaposi’s sarcoma association in an HIV-negative patient [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016
The association of mycosis fungoides and kaposi’s sarcoma in HIV-negative patients is a rare phenomenon. The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) – associated with all forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma – has also been recently identified in mycosis fungoides ...

Prevalence of HCMV, HHV‐6, and HSV‐1/2 in the semen of men attending infertility clinics and their association with semen parameters

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Viral infections have been identified as potential disruptors of male reproductive health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6), and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV‐1/2) DNA in semen samples from fertile and infertile men within the potential impact of ...

K-bZIP of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus/Human Herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8) Binds KSHV/HHV-8 Rta and Represses Rta-Mediated Transactivation [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2003
ABSTRACT The regulatory circuit for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8) gene expression bears resemblance to that of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but with interesting differences. Based on protein sequence similarities and synteny to their EBV counterparts, two KSHV/HHV-8 viral regulatory factors, HHV-8 Rta ...
