Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a very common virus that most people catch at some point in their life, often without realising it. It spreads mainly through saliva, such as kissing or sharing drinks, and is best known for causing glandular fever. When symptoms do occur, they can include a sore throat, swollen glands, fever, and extreme tiredness that may last for several weeks.
Once someone is infected, EBV stays quietly in the body for life, usually without causing any problems. The immune system keeps the virus under control, and most people never notice it again. In some cases, people may feel lingering fatigue after the initial illness, or the virus may reactivate later without symptoms, but for the vast majority of people, EBV is mild and recovery is complete. This study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of a potential vaccine that aims to provide immunization against EBV and EBV related conditions.
