EBV is not the only virus that can reactivate in people with chronic Lyme. Lyme-literate doctors name several.
Dr. Marty Ross lists HHV-6, EBV, CMV (cytomegalovirus) and parvovirus B19. He explains that these viruses are kept under control in healthy people, but can become active in chronic Lyme because of immune suppression: https://treatlyme.com/guide/kills-viruses-a-brief-guide/
Dr. Horowitz screens for EBV, HHV-6, CMV and West Nile virus. He explains that Lyme and its coinfections may reactivate viruses a person already had: https://www.lymedisease.org/members/lyme-times/special-issues/coinfection-issue/how-can-i-get-better
