Burkitt lymphoma can be classified into three forms which differ in geographic distribution and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) association: endemic, sporadic and HIV‐associated. Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is associated with EBV in over 95% of cases and is predominant in the equatorial belt of Africa and other parts of the world where malaria is hyperendemic. The disease is Epstein-Barr virus-related Burkitts lymphoma (Experimental Factor Ontology identifier EFO_1001954). Also known as: EBV-Related Burkitt's Lymphoma.
