Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects over 90% of the world's population and is associated with several cancers. EBV is transmitted through bodily fluids and causes infectious mononucleosis. While most infections are asymptomatic, EBV can establish lifelong latent infections and has been linked to Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma among other cancers. Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma associated with EBV in 80% of endemic cases and 20% of non-endemic cases. Up to 40% of Hodgkin's lymphoma cases are also associated with EBV infection of the Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells.
