What do Retroviruses and Hepadnaviruses have in common?

Retroviruses and Hepadnaviruses are both types of viruses that utilize reverse transcription in their replication processes. They possess single-stranded RNA (in the case of retroviruses) or partially double-stranded DNA (in the case of hepadnaviruses) as their genetic material. Both classes of viruses can integrate their genetic material into the host genome, leading to persistent infections. Additionally, they are associated with significant human diseases, such as HIV for retroviruses and hepatitis B for hepadnaviruses.


What retroviruses are currently known as carcinogens?

Retroviruses are a specific class of virus that infect animals and people by writing their genetic code into the DNA of the animal or human host.
