MYC and Epstein-Barr virus infection: Furthermore BL may exist in absence of malaria, and EBV infections [24,25], therefore, if Burkitt's lymphoma exist in absence of malaria and EBV infection, translocation of c-myc/IgH is not carried out by any of these two agents (as it occurs in most sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma), then If we discard both transmissible agents, as direct cause of c-myc translocation, just immunity, would explain the genesis of BL.
