NCIt definition : Genus of retroviruses which establish persistent, but non pathogenic infections in mammals and primates, including humans, chimpanzees, cattle, and cats. It is unique among retroviruses in having infectious particles that carry DNA rather than RNA.

Infected cells accumulate vacuoles, giving them a foamy appearance and are often involved in syncytium formation.;
