Molecular assay reagents intended to identify viruses of the family Retroviridae by detecting the nucleic acid of the target virus. The subfamilies of pathogenic retroviruses are Oncovirinae, Spumavirinae, and Lentivirinae; lentiviruses are the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); oncoviruses are associated with human T-cell lymphomas and leukemia; and viruses of the genus Spumaviruses are considered nonpathogenic to humans.
