Retroviruses have been of great importance to biomedical science
for the past half century. Initially, studies on oncogenic animal
retroviruses provided important insights into molecular processes
in carcinogenesis - most notably the existence and mechanisms of
action of oncogenes and proto-oncogenes. Moreover, several human
diseases are caused by retroviruses, including AIDS, adult T-cell
leukemia and the neurological disease HAM/TSP. The topic of this
volume is a relatively unknown animal retrovirus, jaagsiekte sheep
retrovirus, the causative agent of transmissible lung cancer in
sheep -ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The disease was first
documented in South Africa in the 1800s, it has a wide geographical
distribution, and it is of economic importance in high endemic
regions. However, until very recently the nature of the etiologic
agent was unclear, and relatively few laboratories actively studied
the disease.
