Almost all strains are motile by means of a single polar flagellum, and some strains have two or three flagella flagella, exotoxins, and antiphagocytic factors.

Infectious mononucleos is Epstein-Barr virus EBV is defined by a discrete viral life cycle with primary infection, latency, and lytic reactivation phases. There are two peaks of EBV infection as measured by seroconversio n, age 2– Virus blood and bone marrow ability to remain latent for years.

Epithelial cells of the oropharynx are the portals of EBV infection. The virus is transmitted primarily by repeated contact with oropharyngeal secretions and is primarily transmitted by adults 30– Mononucleosi s is spread through saliva. If you're infected, you can help prevent spreading the virus to others by not kissing them and by not sharing food, dishes, glasses, and
