The extent of genetic diversity of Epstein-Barr virus and its geographic and disease patterns: A need for reappraisal
TLDR
It is suggested that the true extent of EBV diversity is likely to be greater than is currently recognized and additional studies conducted in carefully selected populations, that are sufficiently powered to provide robust estimates, and that utilize testing approaches that permit full characterization of viral diversity are needed.About:

TL;DR: It is reported that M81, a virus isolated from a Chinese patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), shows remarkable similarity to other NPC viruses but is divergent from all other known strains.

TL;DR: A greater understanding of the etiopathogeny of periodontal disease seems to be a prerequisite for the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies that are more efficacious and less burdensome for patients.

TL;DR: EBV, HPV and MMTV gene sequences are present and co-exist in many human breast cancers, and the presence of these viruses in breast cancer is associated with young age of diagnosis and possibly an increased grade of breast cancer.
