Profiling the small RNAs plasma levels in KSHV-infected Ugandan patients without KS

In the current study, we examined the cellular and viral miRNA expression profile in KSHV-infected patients without clinical signs of KSHV-associated disease. In addition, we characterized the viral miRNAs encoded by KSHV and EBV during natural infections in these patients. Finally, we show that malaria infection results in major alterations of the molecular content of plasma exosomes.
