High prevalence of simian foamy virus infection of South American Indians.
Simian foamy viruses (SFV) are retroviruses that widely infect nonhuman primates of New and Old-World origin and exhibit long-standing co-evolution with their hosts. Humans can acquire SFV from zoonotic exposures but are not known to be endemically infected and typically exhibit dead-end infections....
