Description

This initiative seeks to enhance our mechanistic and epidemiologic understanding of infection-related cancers, with a focus on the etiologic roles of co-infection in cancer. Preference will be given to investigations of co-infections with known oncogenic agents (e.g., Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] and Epstein Barr virus [EBV]; excluding human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) and of co-infections that engendered novel opportunities for prevention and treatment. Coinfection is defined as the occurrence of infections by two or more infectious (pathogenic or nonpathogenic) agents either concurrently or sequentially and includes both acute and chronic infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and/or other microorganisms.
