We previously found that age, sex, and malaria were associated with KSHV viral load in individuals from Uganda. In this study, we have evaluated factors associated with presence of EBV DNA in blood and oral fluids among the same individuals, using the same biological samples. Overall, 74% of oral fluids samples and 46% of PBMCs had detectable EBV, compared to 24% and 11% for KSHV respectively Individuals with EBV in PBMCs were more likely to have KSHV in PBMCs (P=0.016). The peak age for detection of EBV in oral fluids was 3-5 years while that of KSHV was 6-12 years. In PBMCs, the peak age for detection of EBV was 66+ years and KSHV was 3-5 years. Individuals with malaria had higher levels of EBV in PBMCs compared to malaria-negative individuals (P=0.002). In summary, our results show that younger age and malaria are associated with higher levels of EBV and KSHV in PBMCs suggesting malaria impacts immunity to EBV and KSHV.
