Gammaretrovirus Infections in Humans in the Past, Present and Future: Have We Defeated the Pathogen?

2025-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Gammaretroviruses are ubiquitous pathogens, often associated with the induction of neoplasia, especially leukemia, lymphoma, and sarcoma, and with a propensity to target the germline. The latter trait has left extensive evidence of their infectious competence in vertebrate genomes, the human genome being no exception. Despite the continuing activity of gammaretroviruses in mammals, including Old World monkeys, ape...
