Human retroviruses have developed novel strategies for their propagation and survival. A consequence of their success has been the induction of an extraordinarily diverse set of human diseases, including AIDS, cancers and neurological and inflammatory disorders. Early research focused on their characterization, linkage to these diseases, and the mechanisms involved. Research should now aim at the eradication of human retroviruses and on treatment of infected people.
人类逆转录病毒已经发展出了用于自身传播和生存的新策略。它们成功的一个后果是引发了一系列极为多样的人类疾病,包括艾滋病、癌症以及神经和炎症性疾病。早期研究集中在对它们的特性描述、与这些疾病的关联以及涉及的机制。现在的研究应该致力于根除人类逆转录病毒以及治疗感染者。
