Four chapters of the MOOC are dedicated to different viral species/families/groups most frequently associated with cancers in humans: retroviruses, papillomaviruses, merkel cell polyoma virus, hepatitis viruses, Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV8). Epidemiology of viral infection and associated cancers are explained. A last chapter is devoted to innovative prevention measures which might help to decrease the high rate of virus-induced human cancers worldwide.
