Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a gammaherpesvirus that infects a large fraction of the human
population. Primary infection is often asymptomatic but results in lifelong infection, which is …

Post-acute infection syndromes may develop after acute viral disease. Infection with SARS-
CoV-2 can result in the development of a post-acute infection syndrome known as long …

Serological tests for antibodies specific for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigens are frequently
used to define infection status and for the differential diagnosis of other pathogens …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) provides a useful model to study cellular immunity to a genetically
stable, persistent human virus. Different sets of proteins expressed during EBV's lytic and …

A growing body of evidence suggests that the human natural killer (NK)-cell compartment is
phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous and is composed of several differentiation …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects various cell types in a wide spectrum of benign and
malignant diseases. Laboratory tests for EBV have improved and are increasingly used in …

To develop more detailed models of EBV persistence we have studied the dynamics of virus
shedding in healthy carriers. We demonstrate that EBV shedding into saliva is continuous …

Many pathogens that cause human disease infect only humans. To identify the mechanisms
of immune protection against these pathogens and also to evaluate promising vaccine …

Background General practitioners encounter the vast majority of patients with Epstein-Barr
