West Nile Virus and Other Arboviral Diseases — United States, 2013

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected mosquitoes and ticks. West Nile virus (WNV) is the leading cause of domestically acquired arboviral disease in the United States. However, several other arboviruses also cause sporadic cases and seasonal outbreaks of neuroinvasive disease (i.e., meningitis, encephalitis, and acute flaccid par...

A case of gastric cancer with heterogeneous components of EB virus (+)/TP53 (+) and EB virus (-)/TP53 (-).

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric adenocarcinoma is a histological subtype of gastric adenocarcinoma, in which all of the carcinoma cells are basically positive for EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) by in situ hybridization. Although its typical histology has some overlap with gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, absence of massive lymphoid infiltrate is sometimes observed either in who...

Recent studies with EB virus.

It is now 11 years since the discovery of EB virus (1), and during that time an immense amount of information has been accumulated on this new human herpes virus by large numbers of investigators in many different countries (for reviews, see 2-4). With so many studies currently going forward on this agent and so many new workers coming into the field, it was thought that a brief historical surv...

Asymptomatic infection with EB virus.

Evidence of asymptomatic EB virus infection was sought in healthy medical students and nurses following the observation that 1.4% possessed heterophile antibodies. The proportion of subjects with EB virus antibodies rose with age and there was evidence of recent infection in 19%. Smooth muscle antibodies were detected in 13 individuals and recent infection with EB virus was probable in six of t...
