Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), a γ-herpesvirus, is the causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma. While the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma may be explained by the differences in the prevalence of KSHV, there is currently no explanation for the variation of KSHV prevalence in different geographic locations and populations. This review summarizes the current understanding of KSHV transmission and aims to provide insight into how KHSV may be transmitted and maintained in the human population.
