Search for Cross-Species Transmission of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus in Patients Treated with Living Pig Tissue

TL;DR: Pig organs may offer a solution to the shortage of human donor organs for transplantation, but concerns remain about possible cross-species transmission of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV), and persistent microchimerism was observed in 23 patients for up to 8.5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emergence of unique primate T-lymphotropic viruses among central African bushmeat hunters

TL;DR: The findings indicate that cross-species transmission is not the rate-limiting step in pandemic retrovirus emergence and suggest that it may be possible to predict and prevent disease emergence by surveillance of populations exposed to animal reservoirs and interventions to decrease risk factors, such as primate hunting.
