Abstract
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been linked to the development of a variet
y of human malignancies, including Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, n
asopharyngeal carcinoma, some T cell lymphomas, post-transplant lymphoproli
ferative disease, and more recently, certain cancers of the stomach and smo
oth muscle. This review summarises these associations and in particular the
role of the viral latent genes in the transformation process.
