Sheep pulmonary adenomatosis: a unique model of retrovirus-associated lung cancer

M Palmarini et al. Trends Microbiol. 1997 Dec.

Abstract

Sheep pulmonary adenomatosis (SPA) is a contagious bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma of sheep associated with an exogenous type D/B retrovirus known as jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV). SPA represents a unique model for lung cancer, and studies on its aetiopathogenesis can provide further insight into the mechanisms of epithelial neoplasms.
