Epstein-Barr Virus

Epstein-Barr Virus: The finding of what became known as Epstein-Barr virus (Epstein et al., 1964) led to a whole new area in virology with important implications for viral carcinogenesis, immunology, and later even the treatment and prevention of certain human malignancies. Since the early days of Epstein-Barr virus research, interest in Epstein-Barr virus has undergone great changes as attested by the regular cycle of international meetings dealing with many aspects of Epstein-Barr virus, by the great and increasing number of publications devoted to Epstein-Barr virus each year, and indeed by the clear need for a new, up-to-date, and authoritative monograph on Epstein-Barr virus such as provided by the new book Epstein-Barr Virus.
