- 27 Oct 1999
TL;DR: In this paper, a spumavirus was isolated from a human who had exposure to nonhuman primates and used to detect the presence of spum virus or antibodies in body fluids, for pathogenicity studies of related viruses, and as a vector for gene therapies.

TL;DR: There is a substantial prevalence of infection with simian foamy viruses (SFV) among humans occupationally exposed to nonhuman primates and the infecting SFV originated from an African green monkey and baboons.
Detection and molecular characterisation of feline foamy virus serotypes in naturally infected cats.
TL;DR: Group-specific PCRs were developed, using the same sense primer with an antisense primer specific for each group, and no evidence of superinfection of any cat with virus from both serogroups was detected.
The complete genomic sequence of the modified vaccinia ankara strain : comparison with other orthopoxviruses
TL;DR: The attenuated phenotype of MVA is the result of numerous mutations, particularly affecting the host interactive proteins, including the ankyrin-like genes, but also involving some structural proteins.
