Simian Foamy Virus Infection of Rhesus Macaques in Bangladesh: Relationship of Latent Proviruses and Transcriptionally Active Viruses
10 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Simian foamy viruses (SFV) are complex retroviruses that are ubiquitous in nonhuman primates (NHP) and are zoonotically transmitted to humans, presumably through NHP saliva, by licking, biting, and other behaviors.
