Exposure to the Epstein-Barrow virus

Epstein-Barr virus I guess!

The prevalence ranges from 1: 250 in African American women to a prevalence of 1: 1000 to 1: 10,000 in other populations.

The number is quite weird.African-American are protected against it.So, there must be some strong immune control.

True about EBV, lapsus linguae :) What do you mean by African-American woman are protected against it?

Looking at the prevalence rate African-American woman looks protected .

No, prevalence is a measurement of all individuals affected by the disease at a particular time. So if the number is 1:250, it means that they are more affected by the disease :)

oh yes! I read that wrong.
