Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus spread by human contact with no know environmental reservoir. Antibodies are detected in 90 to 95% of adults worldwide. EBV infection is subclinical in 90% of children.
EpsteinâBarr virus (EBV) is a double-stranded DNA virus with a genome of 172 kb, belonging to the herpes virus family. The main targets of EBV are B cells, but in some circumstances EBV also infects other cells, such as T cells and epithelial cells. In virus particles, the genome is in a linear form.
