HSPVs
HSPVs, or Human Spumaviruses, are a group of viruses that infect humans. They belong to the family Spumaviridae, which also includes the simian foamy virus (SFV) that infects non-human primates. HSPVs are known for their ability to integrate their genetic material into the host's DNA, a process that can lead to long-term infection and potential oncogenic effects.
There are two main types of HSPVs: Human Spumaretrovirus (HSRV) and Human Spumavirus (HSV). HSRV is further
The discovery of HSPVs has been a subject of debate, with some researchers arguing that they are
The potential oncogenic nature of HSPVs has raised concerns about their role in human cancer. Some studies
