The reactive lymphocytes resembled monocytes when they were first discovered, thus the term "mononucleosis" was coined. A fibrin ring granuloma may be present in the liver or bone marrow. [ 47 ] [ 48 ]
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is the first identified oncogenic virus, or a virus that can cause cancer. EBV establishes permanent infection in humans. It causes infectious mononucleosis and is also tightly linked to many malignant diseases (cancers). Various vaccine formulations underwent testing in different animals or in humans. However, none ...

This was recognized as a clinical syndrome in the 1800s consisting of fever, pharyngitis and adenopathy. The term glandular fever was first used in 1889 and the association with Epstein-Barr virus infection in the late 1960s. Sprunt and Evans described the characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis in 1920.
In 1964, using electron microscopy, Anthony Epstein and his research assistant Bert Achong discovered viral particles in EB cells, resulting in the seminal paper published in 1964, "Virus particles in cultured lymphoblasts from Burkitt's lymphoma" by Epstein, Achong and Barr. This was the first demonstration of viral particles in a human tumour ...
In April 2018, the first human antibody that blocks Epstein-Barr Virus was discovered, called AMMO1. [10] It blocks glycoproteins gH and gL. This discovery defines new sites of vulnerability on Epstein-Barr Virus, and neutralizes the dual-tropic infection (stopping both infection of B cells and epithelial cells).
Scientists studying fossils found in Spain say they may have found the world's 'first flower.' Kind of. Researchers were studying fossils of a freshwater plant species known as Montsechia vidalii ...
Cytomegalovirus was first observed by German pathologist Hugo Ribbert in 1881 when he noticed enlarged cells with enlarged nuclei present in the cells of an infant. [17] Years later, between 1956 and 1957, Thomas Huckle Weller together with Smith and Rowe independently isolated the virus, known thereafter as "cytomegalovirus". [ 18 ]
