Hitler and the Nazis?

Mussolini and the Fascists?

The Borgias?

It is best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis ("mono" or "glandular fever&quot . It is also associated with various non-malignant, premalignant, and malignant Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases such as Burkitt lymphoma, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis,[2] and Hodgkin's lymphoma; non-lymphoid malignancies such as gastric cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma; and conditions associated with human immunodeficiency virus such as hairy leukoplakia and central nervous system lymphomas.[3][4] The virus is also associated with the childhood disorders of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome[5] and acute cerebellar ataxia[6] and, based on some evidence, higher risks of developing certain autoimmune diseases,[7] especially dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome,[8][9] and multiple sclerosis.[10] [11]. About 200,000 cancer cases per year are thought to be attributable to EBV.[12]

Infection with EBV occurs by the oral transfer of saliva[13] and genital secretions.

My youngest son had EBV and his father has had Hodgkin's lymphoma. Even the doctor said to watch son like a hawk for the rest of his life! He's got a double-whammy genetically.
