ABSTRACT
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus related virus (XMRV) was the first
gammaretrovirus to be reported in humans. The sequence similarity
between XMRV and murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) was consistent with an
origin of XMRV from one or more MLVs present as endogenous proviruses
in mouse genomes. Here we review the relationship of the human and
mouse virus isolates, and discuss the potential complications
associated with the detection of MLV-like sequences from clinical
samples.
