Abstract
Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma is the most common childhood cancer in equatorial Africa. Two ubiquitous human pathogens are thought to be responsible for the aetiology of this disease: Epstein-Barr virus and Plasmodium falciparum malaria. New data suggest how these two pathogens might interact to result in disease and provide insights into the emerging concepts of polymicrobial disease pathogenesis.Entities:
