Simian T-Lymphotropic Virus Type I
Definition 1
A single-stranded reverse-transcribing RNA retrovirus of the genus deltaretrovirus that infects a wide range of non-human primates. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
A simian HTLV-BLV VIRUS species closely related to the human HTLV-I virus. The clinical, hematological, and histopathological characteristics of the disease in STLV-infected monkeys are very similar to those of human adult T-cell leukemia. Subgroups include the African green monkey subtype (STLV-I-AGM), for which the nucleotide sequence is 95% homologous with that of the HTLV-I virus, and the Asian rhesus macaque subtype (STLV-I-MM), for which the nucleotide sequence is 90% homologous with that of the HTLV-I virus.
