Abstract

Cytomegalovirus is a ubiquitous herpes-family virus that infects the majority of the population at some point during their lifetime. About 60–70 % of the urban population in the United States and nearly 100 % of the population in some parts of Africa are infected. Transmission occurs during pregnancy or childbirth, during sexual contact, through exposure to bodily secretions (urine, feces, saliva, breast milk), through blood transfusions, or via organ transplantation.
