Objectives: The Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection occurs mainly in Africa with an high level in paediatric age and this suggest the existence of an alternative way of transmission beside the sexual intercourse. The presence of HHV-8 in saliva of seropositive mothers led to consider this fluid as the source of infection. Our study is based on the hypothesis of “promoter arthropod".
