Over 95% of the world's adult population is infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but most people never realize it. The infection often causes few symptoms and then stays in the body for life.

The difficulty is that EBV lives latently in B cells in the blood at a frequency, in most immunocompetent individuals, of about 1 in 100,000 to 1 in a million. That level of infection is below the ...

Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists reached a crucial milestone in blocking Epstein Barr virus (EBV), a pathogen estimated to infect 95% of the global population that is linked to multiple types of ...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause certain types of cancer or autoimmune diseases, but how the body controls this common viral infection is largely unknown. Researchers at the University Hospital ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

Most people have the Epstein-Barr (EBV) virus. Sometimes people are unaware of this virus in their body; it settles into immune cells and remains for the duration.

Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly one million ...

Khaberni - Scientists at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center have achieved a significant scientific breakthrough in efforts to disable the Epstein-Barr virus. The Epstein-Barr virus, also known as ...

Around 90% of people are infected with Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lifetimes. For most of them, the virus causes a mild, transient illness or no symptoms at all. But for a subset of ...
