Is it known if the retrovirus found by Dr. Elaine DeFreitas in 1991
is the same as XMRV? Thank you in advance for all replies.

grimey gopher guts" I imagine my cat saying; "That sounds REALLY,
REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

Elaine DeFreitas's virus was reported to be similar to HLTV-2, which is a deltaretrovirus, while XMRV is a gammaretrovirus. So, it doesn't seem to be the same virus. There are also reports of spumavirus type retroviruses in CFS/ME patients.
