At the time the very idea of a virus underlying a cancer was revolutionary. Cancer is after all not catching. Even now the idea of a virus causing cancer surprises many people. But Epstein - Barr named after its discoverers Sir Anthony Epstein and Dr Yvonne Barr is fascinating for other reasons too. Almost everyone carries it yet it is only under certain circumstances that it produces disease. It has been associated with different apparently unrelated diseases in different populations: Burkitt's Lymphoma producing tumours in the jaw in African children; a nasal tumour in China; glandular fever in Europe and the US a; and the majority of cases of Hodgkin's Disease everywhere. This book tells the story of the discovery of the virus and the recognition of its connection with these various diseases - an account that spans the world and involves some remarkable characters and individual stories.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Cancer Virus The Story Of Epstein - Barr Virus\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Johannessen Ingolfur (Consultant Medical Virologist And Senior Lecturer Consultant Medical Virologist And Senior Lecturer Royal Infirmary Of Edinburgh And University Of Edinburgh)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780199653119\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 224 Pages, Approximately 12 Black And White Images\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/1\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Popular Science","brand":"Johannessen Ingolfur (Consultant Medical Virologist And Senior Lecturer Consultant Medical Virologist And Senior Lecturer Royal Infirmary Of Edinburgh And University Of Edinburgh)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593304547633,"sku":"IN-G-9780199653119","price":24.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780199653119.jpg?v=1753224942","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780199653119-cancer-virus-the-story-of-epstein-barr-virus","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
