It's free! Save it. We obtained 475 nucleotides of the DNA polymerase gene of a novel human herpesvirus 8 homolog sequence in a gibbon. The finding of this new gibbon virus, which clusters with a related chimpanzee virus in the rhadinovirus 2 genogroup, suggests the existence of a novel [gamma]-2-herpesvirus in humans. Among Gammaherpesvirinae, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus or human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8) represent human prototypes of the Lymphocryptovirus ([gamma]-1-herpesvirus) and Rhadinoviru. ([gamma]-2-herpesvirus) genuses, respectively (1). Both viruses play an important role in human multistep carcinogenesis, especially in immunodeficient patients. Indeed, Kaposi sarcoma and EBV-associated Burkitt lymphoma currently represent the most frequent cancers in some geographic areas, especially in Africa. | |
