      The detection of viral nucleic acid in tissue or cytologic preparations by in-situ cytohybridization is a biochemical technique that has been moved by recent developments into the realm of diagnostic pathology. This article describes changes in the methodology of cytohybridization within the framework of the Epstein-Barr virus system and illustrates how broader application of molecular hybridization may increase the appreciation of mechanisms of disease at epidemiologic, cellular, and molecular levels.
