Recently, a novel DNA virus has been molecularly cloned from Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tissue, a tumour common in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Analysis of the viral genome confirms that it is a relative of human herpesviruses and the virus has been designated HHV-8. Epidemiological eviden

## Background: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (kshv) dna sequences have been identified in approximately 95% of kaposi's sarcoma (ks) lesions and primary effusion lymphomas (pels), suggesting a pathogenetic role for this virus in these lesions. however, kshv has also been identified in a v
## Abstract We report the molecular characterization of 38 new Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) strains from Russian patients with either classic (25 cases), epidemic/AIDS‐associated (7 cases), or posttransplant/immunosuppressed patients (6 cases), or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). While a co
