What infectious disease caused by the epstein barr virus is sometimes called the kissing disease?
Infectious mononucleosis (also known as EBV infectious mononucleosis or Pfeiffer's disease and colloquially as kissing disease - from its oral distribution - or as mono in North America and as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is an infectious, very widespread viral disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which well over 90% of all adults are exposed to at some point in their life.

What else can I help you with?
What is the Genus and species for Infectious mononucleosis?
Eptein-Barr virus
What is due to a viral infection involving the lymph nodes and is called the kissing disease''?
Infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as the kissing disease, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and often manifests with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. This viral infection is typically spread through saliva, hence its association with kissing.
What pathogen causes mononucleosis?
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the pathogen that causes mononucleosis, also known as "mono" or the "kissing disease."
Where did mononucleosis originate?
Mononucleosis ("kissing disease," EBV infectious mononucleosis, Pfeiffer's disease, Filatov's disease) comes from the Epstein-Barr Virus, which is a type of Herpes virus. Up to 90% of adults are exposed in their lifetimes. It was discovered in 1964 by Anthony Epstein and Yvonne Barr after being sent a tumor sample from a Kampala, Uganda hospital. The sample was gathered by Denis Burkett.
Which disease is often called kissing disease because you can get it from contca with saliva?
The disease often referred to as the "kissing disease" is infectious mononucleosis, commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It spreads primarily through saliva, which is why it's associated with kissing but can also be transmitted through other forms of close contact. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. Most commonly affecting teenagers and young adults, it typically resolves on its own with rest and hydration.
What can cause infectious disease?
close contect with someone such as kissing or huging or talking very close to someone
What causes mono?
It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect exchange of saliva, hence the nickname "kissing disease."
Diseases transmitted through wet kissing?
Infectious mononucleosis, often called "mono," refers to a group of symptoms usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It typically occurs in teenagers, but you can get it at any age. The virus is spread through saliva, which is why some people call it the "kissing disease."
What's Mono?
It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect exchange of saliva, hence the nickname "kissing disease."
What is the mano disease?
Mano in Spanish means "hand". I believe you mean Mono, which is short for mononucleosis. Mononucleosis was dubbed the "Kissing disease" because it transmits very easily orally. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a type of herpes virus, to which more than 90% of adults have been exposed. The symptoms are sore throat, extreme fatigue, sore and achy muscles, loss of appetite and weight. The virus has a long incubation period, 4-7 weeks, and the symptoms last 2 weeks to a month, sometimes longer. Since mononucleosis is a virus, it cannot and should not be treated with antibiotics. There is a drug by the name of valacyclovir, which has shown to reduce or eliminate the presence of the Epstein-Barr virus.
What is a virus that is believed to be the cause of infectious mononucleosis?
Infectious mononucleosis is primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpesvirus family. EBV is commonly transmitted through saliva, which is why it is often referred to as the "kissing disease." The virus can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. Most people are infected with EBV at some point in their lives, often during childhood, but infectious mononucleosis typically occurs in adolescents and young adults.
What is epstenbar?
I suppose you're reffering yo the Epstein-Barr virus..? In this case, as I said, it's a virus widely present among our specie (like 90% of the population hace it). Most people can be asymptomatic (mostly because of getting the infection on childhood) and some one develop infectious mononucleosis (the "kissing disease" or just "mono").
