I just had a look at some notes, and it's even worse than I recall. Substantial quantities of Xenotropic MuLV-related virus VP62 (NC_007815.1) detected in around 20% of ~ 1700 cancer samples, from a variety of cancers. Not just a few fragments, but thousands, meaning there is an active infection. I actually brought this up to some of the PIs at the time, and they wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. They knew better.

One of the first things noticed about AIDS patients was that many got cancer -- initially they called it Gay Cancer. XMRV is a retrovirus similar to AIDS except that it doesn't kill quickly -- many people with Chronic Fatigue feel as badly as an AIDS patient during the last 6 months they are dying, except that CFS patients generally live many years. There is also a lot of the same type of cancer among CFS patients similar to the cancers among HIV/AIDS patients. Prostrate Cancer was the first type discovered to sometimes have XMRV.
You would really enjoy reading "Plague" as you already understand the technical science which was harder for me to understand not having your background.
