More than 90% of humanity is infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lifelong. While infection is usually controlled by the immune system, the human host fails to completely eliminate the pathogen. Several herpesviral proteins are known that act as immunoevasins preventing or reducing recognition of EBV-infected cells. Only recently, microRNAs of EBV were identified to reduce immune recognition further. This Gem summarizes what we know about immunomodulatory miRNAs of herpesviruses.
