human herpesvirus-8 and other viral infections, papua new guinea.

we studied residents of remote villages and the capital (port moresby) of papua new guinea to determine the distribution of human herpesvirus-8 (hhv-8) infection. our data suggest that hhv-8 has been endemic on the island for a long time and that the epidemiologic pattern of hhv-8 is more similar to that of herpes simplex virus-2 than hepatitis c virus.
