KSHV Seroprevalence in Bantus and Pygmies by immunofluorescent assay.

<p>The Immunofluorescent detection assay on BC3 cells considered a 1∶80 positivity threshold for anti-LANA-1 antibodies. The graph displays the prevalence (Y axis) according to age categories (X axis). A significant increase with age has been observed in Pygmies (dark green) but less visible in Bantus (light grey).</p

General characteristics of studied population and serological results.

<p>Pos: Positive, Neg: Negative, Sd: Standard deviation.</p

Geographical distribution of KSHV seroprevalence in studied areas of South Cameroon.

<p>Rural study areas are shadowed orange in the Center, purple in the South and blue in the East. Nature reserves are shown green stripped areas in the East (Dja) and in the South (Campo). Grey shadowed ellipses show general regional ethnic KSHV prevalence which is higher among Bantus than Pygmies.</p

Phylogenetic analyses between the colinearized encoding variable region VR1 and VR2 fragments (258 nt) on panel A <i>versus</i> the rest of the sequence (375 nt) on panel B of the 29 new KSHV/HHV-8 strains from Cameroon with 22 representative KSHV/HHV-8 strains from A/C subtypes.

<p>Panel A shows the results from the 258-long sequences for the highly variable regions VR1 and VR2. Panel B shows the results for the 375 nt-long sequence from the rest of the sequence that is less susceptible to the immune system as an evolutionary driving force.</p

Identification of the Nyong as a major risk factor for BU incidence in Akonolinga 2002–2012 (spatial analysis on time-aggregated incidence rate of BU in Akonolinga).

<p>A: Incidence rate per village (cases/1,000py). B: Decreasing risk of BU with increasing distance to the Nyong River. Homogenous risk areas of Akonolinga district were identified using the SPODT algorithm. Associated odds-ratio and 95% CI are provided.</p
