Abstract
- The article discusses the threat of retroviruses on blood safety. According to the article, series of research findings showed that transmission of retroviruses from nonhuman primates (NHP) to humans is a regular and ongoing phenomenon. It describes the transmission of simian spumaviruses (SFV) from monkeys, apes and prosimians to humans. It notes that SFV-infected primate workers have donated blood in the United States.
