The mystery surrounding a retrovirus recently implicated in prostate cancer and possibly chronic fatigue syndrome is beginning to yield clues......Watch an interview of Stephen Goff, PhD from Columbia University about XMRV. In it he says,

The study of XMRV is still in its infancy. Preliminary studies suggest the virus first initially appeared in the mouse --- at least at some point. Currently, there is debate on the percentage of human blood samples the virus has been found in....The mystery surrounding a retrovirus recently implicated in prostate cancer and possibly chronic fatigue syndrome is beginning to yield clues.
