Epstein–Barr virus particles induce centrosome amplification and chromosomal instability

Infection with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with increased risk of cancer development. Here the authors show that EBV particles, and more specifically the viral protein BNRF1, induce centrosome amplification and chromosomal instability in host cells in the absence of chronic infection.
