摘要：

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) shows a distinct geographical and ethnic distribution. The variable K1 gene serves to differentiate the KSHV subtypes A-E, M, N, and Q. Phylogenetic characterization of 19 classical and epidemic German KS specimens revealed the Eurasian KSHV subtypes C (n = 13, including 6 classical KS) and A (n = 6), while 27 Cuban specimens showed a variety of different subtypes (A: n = 16, 4 being A5; C: n 8; B: n = 2; and the new subtype E: n = 1). Three pairs of isolates from KS patients and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of their sexual partners without KS were studied for the first time and found identical, strongly arguing for sexual transmission of KSHV in this unique cohort. The unique ethnic background of the Cuban population may explain the variety of different KSHV strains. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
