Naturally acquired simian retrovirus infections in central African hunters
Nathan D. Wolfe,William M. Switzer,Jean K. Carr,Vinod Bhullar,Vedapuri Shanmugam,Ubald Tamoufe,A. Tassy Prosser,Judith N. Torimiro,Anthony Wright,Eitel Mpoudi-Ngole,Francine E. McCutchan,Deborah L. Birx,Thomas M. Folks,Donald S. Burke,Walid Heneine +14 more
TL;DR: The findings show that retroviruses are actively crossing into human populations, and demonstrate that people in central Africa are currently infected with simian foamy virus.

Evidence of avian leukosis virus subgroup E and endogenous avian virus in measles and mumps vaccines derived from chicken cells: investigation of transmission to vaccine recipients.
Shirley X. Tsang,William M. Switzer,Vedapuri Shanmugam,Jeffrey A. Johnson,Cynthia S. Goldsmith,Anthony Wright,Aly M. Fadly,Donald M. Thea,Harold W. Jaffe,Thomas M. Folks,Walid Heneine +10 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the sources of RT activity in all RT-positive measles and mumps vaccines may not be similar and depend on the particular endogenous retroviral loci present in the chicken cell substrate used.

Evidence of a role for the Q151L mutation and the viral background in development of multiple dideoxynucleoside-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
TL;DR: The demonstrated ability of HIV-1151L/68G to replicate and the associated MDNR suggest that 151L is a potential intermediate of Q151M, which may explain the low frequency of the Q 151M-mediated pathway of resistance.

Coinfection with HIV-1 and simian foamy virus in West Central Africans.
William M. Switzer,Albert D. Garcia,Chunfu Yang,Anthony Wright,Marcia L. Kalish,Thomas M. Folks,Walid Heneine +6 more
TL;DR: The findings of the present study suggest opportunities for bloodborne and sexual transmission of SFV and highlight the importance of defining the clinical consequences of dual infections.

Lack of cross-species transmission of porcine endogenous retrovirus infection to nonhuman primate recipients of porcine cells, tissues, or organs.
William M. Switzer,Robert E. Michler,Vedapuri Shanmugam,Aprille L. Matthews,Althaf I. Hussain,Anthony Wright,Paul Sandstrom,Paul Sandstrom,Louisa E. Chapman,Collin J. Weber,Susan A. Safley,Roger R. Denny,Albert Navarro,Valerie Evans,Allen J. Norin,Pawel Kwiatkowski,Walid Heneine +16 more
TL;DR: The data suggest the absence of PERV infection in all 23 NHPs despite exposure to vascularized porcine organs or tissue xenografts and the use of immunosuppressive therapies in some animals, suggesting that PERV is not easily transmitted to these NHP species through these types of xenografteds.
