Expanded tissue targets for foamy virus replication with simian immunodeficiency virus-induced immunosuppression.
Foamy viruses (FV) are the oldest known genus of retroviruses and have persisted in nonhuman primates for over 60 million years. FV are efficiently transmitted, leading to a lifelong nonpathogenic infection. Transmission is thought to occur through saliva, but the detailed mechanism is unknown. Interestingly, this persistent infection contrasts with the rapid cytopathicity caused by FV in vitro...
متن کاملReplication of simian foamy virus in monkey kidney cells.
The structure of foamy virus, its mode of maturation, and the origin of vacuoles in monkey kidney cells are described.
متن کاملSimian foamy virus isolated from an accidentally infected human individual.
Evidence for natural foamy virus (FV) infections in humans is still lacking. However, accidental infections of humans with simian FV have been demonstrated by serology and PCR, but all previous attempts to recover infectious virus in such cases have failed. Here we describe the isolation of a simian FV from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a healthy animal caretaker, who acquired th...
متن کاملCharacterization of provirus clones of simian foamy virus type 1.
We have cloned proviral DNA of simian foamy virus type 1 (SFV-1) from linear unintegrated DNA (pSFV-1). Transfection of pSFV-1 induces cytopathology in several cell lines with supernatants from the transfected cell culture containing infectious viral particles. Electron microscopy of the transfected cells revealed foamy virus particles. Deletion analysis of pSFV-1 indicated that the transcripti...
متن کاملSimian Foamy Virus Transmission from Apes to Humans, Rural Cameroon
Simian virus infections of humans are an increasing public health concern. Simian foamy virus (SFV) infections have been reported in persons occupationally exposed to nonhuman primates and in a few hunters in Cameroon. To better understand this retroviral zoonosis in natural settings, we studied persons who lived in southern Cameroon, near nonhuman primate habitats. First we studied a general p...
