The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a member of the Herpesviridae family and is one of the most common human viruses. It is best known for causing infectious mononucleosis (also known as "mono" or the "kissing disease"), but it is also associated with various types of cancers, such as Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
