Epstein-Barr Virus

Comments

 
Picture
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives. 80 - 90% of the adult population have been infected by the virus. EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva. EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis (mono), and other illnesses. 
Like all herpesviruses, the Epstein-Barr virus is relatively large and complex. The virus's structure consists of an envelope, spikes, a core, a capsid and a tegument. All these structures aid in making the virus successful in the infection process and as a means of avoiding detection from our body's immune system.
Most common symptoms of infection are extreme fatigue, fever, rash, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
