Epstein–Barr virus: History, Research & Products

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV; /ˈɛpstaɪn/ EP-styne, Yiddish: ), also known as human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family, and is one of the most common viruses in humans. EBV is a double-stranded DNA virus. EBV is the first identified oncogenic virus, a virus that can cause cancer. EBV establishes a…
