Abstract excerpt

Retroviruses are RNA viruses that reverse-transcribe their RNA into proviral DNA. These viruses are associated with a wide variety of cancers in chickens mice, cats, and monkeys. Some retroviruses cause a specific type of cancer soon after infection in a high proportion of animals, whereas others cause various cancers late after infection in a lower proportion of animals. Highly oncogenic retroviruses are...
