Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8) was first sequenced from the
body cavity (BC) lymphoma cell line, BC-1, in 1996. Few other KSHV genomes have been …

Recently published near full-length KSHV genomes from a Cameroon Kaposi sarcoma case-

Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa, Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is
endemic, and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a significant public health problem. Until recently …

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a cancer-related virus which engages
in two forms of infection: latent and lytic. Latent infection allows the virus to establish long …
