| Lentivirinae | <organism, virology> Subfamily of nononcogenic retroviruses that cause slow diseases that are characterised by horizontal transmission, long incubation periods and chronic progressive phases.

| lentivirus | A genus of the family retroviridae consisting of non-oncogenic retroviruses that produce multi-organ diseases characterised by long incubation periods and persistent infection.

Five serogroups are recognised, reflecting the mammalian hosts with which they are associated. HIV-1 is the type species. (12 Dec 1998) |
