Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection and Kaposi's sarcoma in Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) became a critical health issue with the emergence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the 1980s. Four clinical-epidemiological forms of KS have been described: classical KS, endemic KS, iatrogenic KS, and AIDS-associated

Raman tweezers provide the fingerprint of cells supporting the late stages of KSHV reactivation [PDF]

, 2009
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has both latent and lytic phases of replication. The molecular switch that triggers a reactivation is still unclear. Cells from S phase of cell cycle provide apt conditions for an active reactivation.
