| retrovirus |
A family of viruses composed of RNA. Once in a host cell they can use reverse transcriptase to perform a "backwards" conversion of RNA to DNA. This family of viruses can cause leukemia in animals. Three forms have been associated with human disease. The two most important are the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS, and the human T lymphocytotropic virus 1, which causes an acute lymphoblastic leukemia /lymphoma syndrome in adults in certain geographic areas.

| retrovirus |
HIV and other viruses that carry their genetic material in the form of RNA rather than DNA and have the enzyme, reverse transcriptase, that can transcribe it into DNA. In most animals and plants, DNA is usually made into RNA, hence "retro" is used to indicate the opposite direction.

| retrovirus |
Family of viruses to which HIV belongs that are distinguished by their use of RNA. It shares a common strategy for replicating that depends on an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase. Retroviruses contain genetic information consisting of RNA which must first be copied by reverse transcriptase into a DNA copy during the early stages of the viral life cycle. ...

| retrovirus |
Retroviruses are a class of viruses characterized by their ability to convert RNA to DNA during replication in the host cell (instead of the reverse as in most other viruses). To do this, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase is required. HIV belongs to this group of viruses.

| retrovirus |
A virus which has RNA as its nucleic acid and uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to copy its genome into the DNA of the host cell's chromosomes.
