- Abstract
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is believed to be transmitted mainly by sexual contact; epidemiological data from Africa show, however, that non-sexual transmission routes may also play an important role. To evaluate better the distribution of HHV8 infection in the Mediterranean area, we performed an age-specific seroprevalence study.
