<h4>Background</h4>Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes lifelong infection in the human host and has been associated with a variety of malignancies. KSHV displays striking geographic variation in prevalence, which is highest in sub-Saharan Africa. The current KSHV genome sequences available are all tumor cell line-derived or primary tumor-associated viruses, which have provided valuable insights into KSHV genetic diversity.<h4>Methods</h4>Here, we sequenced 45 KSHV genomes fr ...[more]
