Nonhuman Mammalian Retroviruses

  • Chapter
Virus-Induced Immunosuppression

Part of the book series: Infectious agents and pathogenesis ((IAPA))

  • 148 Accesses

Abstract

It is beyond the scope of this chapter to present a comprehensive discussion of the biology of mammalian retroviruses. This has been reviewed effectively elsewhere.(1,2) The brief overview provided here focuses on the aspects of retrovirus biology that may assist in understanding the effects of these viruses on immunity.
