- Also known as EB virus (EB virus).
- The herpes virus was named after two discoverers. Mainly cause acute infectious mononucleosis. The virus infects only salivary gland cells and a type of white blood cell. The extracellular mature virus particles are 150-180 nm in diameter and have a lipoprotein capsule with an icosahedral nucleocapsid and a 172 kb mitochondrial double-stranded DNA in the nucleocapsid. Saliva has proven to be the only body fluid in the body that can carry infectious EB virus particles. In some less developed countries, EB virus infection affects almost all children under 5 years of age, and patients are almost asymptomatic. When EB virus infection occurs in adolescents or young adults, the body usually responds differently, and infectious mononucleosis occurs. Some other less common conditions are also associated with Epstein-Barr virus, including certain cancers (such as leukemia). Currently there is no specific treatment for EB virus infection, and vaccines have not yet come out.
