泡沫病毒（PFV），也称为病毒，是一种复杂的逆转录病毒，在细胞培养中诱导特征性的细胞病变效应，迅速导致细胞溶解。这些病毒主要在非人灵长类动物中分离，但有三种非灵长类动物PFV的特征，即牛泡沫病毒，猫泡沫病毒和最近的马泡沫病毒。在其宿主中，PFV似乎是无致病性的，反映了体内病毒复制的有效控制。比较不同病毒分离株的生物学特性肯定有助于揭示这些逆转录病毒的生物学特性。
Foamy viruses (PFVs), also called spumaviruses, are complex retroviruses inducing a characteristic cytopathic effect in cell culture, leading rapidly to cell lysis. These viruses have been isolated mostly in non-human primates, but three non primate PFVs were characterized, namely the bovine foamy virus, the feline foamy virus and more recently the equine foamy virus. In their hosts, PFVs seem to be apathogenic, mirroring an efficient control of virus replication in vivo. Comparing the biology of the different virus isolates will certainly help to unravel the biology of these retroviruses.
