File name | XMRV (Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) |
File Description | Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a laboratory-derived gammaretrovirus that arose from the recombination of two endogenous mouse retroviruses during the mid 1990s. The chimeric virus was first described in 2006 as an apparently novel retrovirus and potential human pathogen. Initial reports linked the virus to prostate cancer and later to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), leading to considerable interest in the scientific and patient communities, investigation of XMRV as a potential cause of multiple medical conditions, and public health concerns about the safety of the donated blood supply. |
