Spumaviruses

  • Chapter
Book cover The Retroviridae

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

In contrast to the numerous studies conducted on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—a lentivirus in the family Retroviridae—little attention has been paid to members of another group, the spumaviruses. The last extensive reviews on spumaviruses appeared in 1975 and 1981 (Hooks and Gibbs, 1975; Hooks and Detrick-Hooks, 1981). Although no known disease is associated with the spumaviruses in their respective host species, the present review intends to bring a comprehensive update on what has been accomplished, particularly with respect to the human strain of spumaviruses.
