Mitochondria play an important etiological and pathogenesis role in the EBV-associated cancers. EBV has a new function in remodeling of mitochondrial dynamics during latency and lytic infection. EBV-encoded latent oncogene BARF1 and EBNA1 suppress the apoptotic pathways by decreasing Bax translocation to mitochondria and activating casepase-9. The BZLF1 protein encoded during EBV lytic activation inhibits the replication and copy number of mtDNA
