development of an epstein-barr virus type 2 (ebv-2)-associated hepatic b cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma in an hiv-1-infected patient following a change in the ebv dominant type.	from the longitudinal study of a cohort of hiv-positive patients, we report the case of a patient who initially harbored the epstein-barr virus (ebv) type 1 and subsequently developed an ebv-2-associated non-hodgkin's b lymphoma a few years after an ebv-2 reactivation, or an exogenous reactivation, in the blood. at the time of diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma, the blood and the throat harbored high levels of the ebv-1 dominant strain. sequence analysis of ebna-2 gene revealed that: (1) type 2 ebv d ...	1999	10025906
high prevalence of epstein-barr virus type 2 among homosexual men is caused by sexual transmission.	to investigate whether epstein-barr virus (ebv) type 2 infection is highly prevalent among homosexual men, the prevalence of ebv type 2 was studied among homosexual and heterosexual white men who were at high and low risk for sexually transmitted diseases; these data were correlated with sexual behavior. the prevalence of ebv type 2 among homosexual men was significantly higher than it was among heterosexual men (39% vs. 6%). among high-risk heterosexual men, prevalence was significantly higher ...	2000	10837190
the genome of epstein-barr virus type 2 strain ag876.	two epstein-barr virus (ebv) types are known, ebv1 and ebv2, which possess substantially diverged alleles for latency genes ebna-2, ebna-3a, ebna-3b and ebna-3c but are thought to be otherwise similar. we report the first complete ebv2 genome sequence, for strain ag876, as 172,764 bp. the sequence was interpreted as containing at least 80 protein coding genes. comparison with the published ebv1 sequence demonstrated that the two sequences are collinear and, outside the known diverged alleles, ge ...	2006	16490228
