The geographical distribution of Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), a common cancer affecting children in equatorial Africa originally described by Denis Burkitt in 1958, was found to be dependent on climatic and geographical conditions leading to the suggestion that a vector-borne virus might be responsible (Burkitt, 1958; Burkitt, 1962). In 1964 Epstein, Achong and Barr identified herpesvirus-like particles by electron microscopy in a cell line established from a BL biopsy (Epstein et al., 1964).
