Absence of xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus in UK patients with chronic fatigue syndrome

Retrovirology, 2010
Background Detection of a retrovirus, xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV), has recently been reported in 67% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

No evidence of XMRV in prostate cancer cohorts in the Midwestern United States

Retrovirology, 2011
Background Xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related virus (XMRV) was initially identified in prostate cancer (PCa) tissue, particularly in the prostatic stromal fibroblasts, of patients homozygous for the RNASEL R462Q mutation.

Long-term infection and vertical transmission of a gammaretrovirus in a foreign host species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Increasing evidence has indicated natural transspecies transmission of gammaretroviruses; however, viral-host interactions after initial xeno-exposure remain poorly understood. Potential association of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV)

Testing Strategies for Detection of Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus‐Related Virus Infection

Advances in Virology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus‐related virus (XMRV) is a newly identified gamma retrovirus and may be associated with prostate cancer‐ (PC) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Since its identification in 2006 and detection of polytropic murine lenkemia virus (MLV)‐like sequences in CFS patients in 2010, several test methods including nucleic acid ...

The saga of XMRV: a virus that infects human cells but is not a human virus

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2014
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was discovered in 2006 in a search for a viral etiology of human prostate cancer (PC). Substantial interest in XMRV as a potentially new pathogenic human retrovirus was driven by reports that XMRV ...

Murine Leukemia Viruses: Objects and Organisms

Advances in Virology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) are among the simplest retroviruses. Prototypical gammaretroviruses encode only the three polyproteins that will be used in the assembly of progeny virus particles. These are the Gag polyprotein, which is the structural protein of a retrovirus particle, the Pol protein, comprising the three retroviral enzymes—protease ...

Serologic and PCR testing of persons with chronic fatigue syndrome in the United States shows no association with xenotropic or polytropic murine leukemia virus-related viruses

Retrovirology, 2011
In 2009, a newly discovered human retrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-related virus (XMRV), was reported by Lombardi et al. in 67% of persons from the US with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) by PCR detection of gag sequences.

Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus is not associated with chronic fatigue syndrome in patients from different areas of the us in the 1990s

Virology Journal, 2011
Background In 2009, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was reported in 67% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) compared to 4% of controls.

From XMRV to HIV-1 and back [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2011
Xenotropic MLV-related retrovirus (XMRV) was first reported about 5 years ago in a few cases of prostate cancer, but did not attract much attention until its reported association with a large fraction of chronic fatigue syndrome cases about 2 years ago.

XMRV, prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome [PDF]

British Medical Bulletin, 2011
A new retrovirus, xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV), was identified in 2006 and an association was claimed between it and a genetic polymorphism predisposing to cancer of the prostate. In 2009 the same virus was identified in a cohort of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
