Emergence of simian foamy viruses in humans: facts and unanswered questions
Antoine Gessain,Sara Calattini +1 more
TL;DR: In this short review, the currently available data on the transmission of the simian foamy retroviruses (SFVs) to humans is presented.

Generation of herpes virus saimiri-transformed T-cell lines from macaques is restricted by reactivation of simian spuma viruses.
Gisela Feldmann,Helmut Fickenscher,Walter Bodemer,Michael Spring,Thomas Nißlein,Gerhard Hunsmann,Dittmer U +6 more
TL;DR: The reactivation of SFV caused remarkable difficulties in the establishment of macaque T-cell lines by HVS, which seems to be a general problem since most animals from several breeding colonies are SFV-positive.

Structural and Evolutionary Analysis of an Orangutan Foamy Virus
Ernst J. Verschoor,Susan Langenhuijzen,Saskia van den Engel,Henk Niphuis,Kristin S. Warren,Jonathan L. Heeney +5 more
TL;DR: P phylogenetic analysis revealed that simian foamy virus SFVora was evolutionarily equidistant from foamy viruses from other hominoids and from those from Old World monkeys, suggesting an independent evolution within its host over a long period of time.

Waddington,Simon N. Waddington,Steven J. Howe +22 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PFV can be used for neonatal gene delivery with an intracranial expression profile that localizes to hippocampal neurons, potentially because of the mitotic status of the targeted cells, which could be of use for research applications and gene therapy of neurological disorders.

TL;DR: The spumavirus of the present invention was isolated from humans who had exposure to nonhuman primates as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to detect the presence of SPVs in body fluids, for pathogenicity studies of related viruses, and as a vector for gene therapies.
