Simian foamy virus
Virus classification
Group:
Group VI (ssRNA-RT)
Order:
Ortervirales
Family:
Retroviridae
Subfamily:
Spumaretrovirinae
Genus:
Spumavirus
Species:
Simian foamy virus
Simian foamy virus (SFV) is a species of the genus Spumavirus that belongs to the family of Retroviridae. It has been identified in a wide variety of primates, including prosimians, New World and Old World monkeys, as well as apes, and each species has been shown to harbor a unique (species-specific) strain of SFV, including African green monkeys, baboons, macaques, and chimpanzees.[1] As it is related to the more well-known retrovirus human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), its discovery in primates has led to some speculation that HIV may have been spread to the human species in Africa through contact with blood from apes, monkeys, and other primates, most likely through bushmeat-hunting practices.
