Foreword The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) was identified 49 years ago as the causative agent of a long time known disease, infectious mononucleosis (IM, glandular fever). The IM symptoms are not manifested by all individuals at the time of acquisition of the infection. It is highly important that the subclinical primary infection also leads to the virus carrier state for lifetime accompanied by efficient immunity. The “silent” infection is due to a particular strategy of the immune system, based on a finely tuned interaction between T and B lymphocytes. When EBV-carrying B lymphocytes acquire proliferating potential (thus malignant potential) in a well-defined differentiation windo
