Kaposi Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) Seroprevalence in Population‐Based Samples of African Children: Evidence for At Least 2 Patterns of KSHV Transmission

Abstract

Two distinct relationships between age and KSHV infection among children imply that KSHV transmission among children is not uniform throughout Africa and is therefore not always responsible for the high seroprevalence observed in adults. There are at least 2 patterns of KSHV transmission in Africa.
