Hello.
My name is Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpesvirus, or HHV-8.
I'm part of the Herpesviridae family.
When I appear, people usually get a type of skin cancer called Karposi's sarcoma.
It gives you red-brown spots all over.
I'm rarely seen in people with good immune systems.
I'm very common in people with HIV or AIDS.

This is kind of the best blog ever. Microbes + neat cartoons = sublime
Your blog is awesome!
Congrats from South America!
cool.
)so funny blog)
Thank goodness Karposi 's nowhere near me.Thank you for informing me about all the microbes i DON 'T have.
I love how the pictures are all sunshine and rainbows but the descriptions of them make my skin crawl. :)
I stumbled upon your blog looking up S.sangius Thanks for all the info!
To give the microbes their mini-profiles... This is interesting!
hey, guess wanna tell u that yr blog is very interesting cute! :P
Another long holiday, Ms Lurie? This post is a month old!
Such an easy life for some.;)
This is one amazing and amusing blog. If you keep it up you shall earn an honorary doctorate in blogging! Next step is to compile it all into a book and publish it through lulu.com. Then you can advertise your book on your blog and become a multi-millionaire!
Great stuff! Go to the head of the class and take a bow!
I love it!!! I will adopt this one since I actually am doing my PhD on it....woohooo :-)
p.s I don't know if you know but herpesvirus don't have legs :-p

I see you've taken some time off. Hope its nothing contagious. Great comics. I'm using them to teach co-workers in a clean room business about our microbe cohabitants. Hope you get a chance to start back into bacteria. I'd love to see some environmental isolates like Chloroflexus and Desulfibrio and other wetland anaerobes. (I'm a wetlands nut as well as a bacterium nut.)
I miss your posts!
i love your site!
can you make an eosinophil up for adoptions? it's actually a type of white blood cell but i would love to adopt one.
this pretty fucked up. and strangely addictive.

Your blog is really extraordinary. But why there is no new entry anymore?

Anymore new post? Hmm

i just wanted to say i love your blog! i sent it out to my medical school classmates as a review before our microbiology exam. :)
Fun yet serious blog. Microbiology rocks, or maybe geology rocks, whatever. ; )
However did you get this great idea?

I second what Carol-Ann said. You have a fantastic blog and one day you could compile a collection of your microbes and turn it into a book. I'm sure it will be a big hit.
