## Abstract Xinjiang, China is an endemic area for Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) but the seroprevalence of Kaposi's sarcomaβassociated herpesvirus (KSHV) and risk factors remain undefined. In this study, antibodies to one KSHV latent protein (ORF73) and two KSHV lytic proteins (ORF65 and ORFβK8.1) were exa
## Abstract Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and its causative agent, Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHVβ8), a gamma2 herpesvirus, have distinctive geographical distributions that are largely unexplained. We propose the βoncoweedβ hypothesis to explain these differences, namely that environment
