what would you do in a pandemic? 3-May-2009 At 8:10:45 PM shamus

Proviruses in the genome, that were incorporated as retroviruses ages ago, mutations then led to the integrated elements of virus genome remaining dormant within the pig genome (same thing is also present in many other species, I assume in humans as well). Worry is due to risk of reactivation and creation of a whiz-bang new virus from the mix of immuno-suppressed transplant recipient, foreign animal provirus in the transplanted tissue, and human retro- or oncovirus (not 100% sure if oncoviruses are present in humans, know they exist in many animals). Makes the cross-species mixing up of some flu viruses look pretty straightforward.
