No evidence of XMRV or related retroviruses in a London HIV-1-positive patient cohort.
BackgroundSeveral studies have implicated a recently discovered gammaretrovirus, XMRV (Xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus), in chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer, though whether as causative agent or opportunistic infection is ...

Gammaretrovirus-like sequences occur in most vertebrate genomes. Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV) like retroviruses (MLLVs) are a subset, which may be pathogenic and spread cross-species.

Broad-scale phylogenomics reveals insights into retroviral origin and gammaretrovirus-host evolution
The Retroviridae is a family of single-stranded positive-sense animal viruses united by a unique mechanism of replication. Numerous studies have demonstrated the host diversity and host–retrovirus evolutionary history of the Retroviridae. However, in the past it has been difficult to gain a deeper understanding owing to the lack of sufficient host ...
