| reduced seroprevalence of kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (kshv), human herpesvirus 8 (hhv8), related to suppression of anopheles density in italy. | in two formerly malarious parts of italy, age-related seroprevalence rates of kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus [human herpesvirus 8 (kshv/hhv8)] were determined from local blood donors and correlated with periods of vector control during anti-malaria campaigns. in veneto, decreased kshv/hhv8 seroprevalence in the 1951-1955 birth cohort coincides with the peak of ddt house-spraying. in sardinia, where larviciding augmented indoor ddt-spraying, a significant drop of kshv/hhv8 seroprevalence ... | 2003 | 14651663 |
