Oncornaviruses [Nko- + English. Rna (Ribonucleic Acid) Ribonucleic Acid + Virus]

Oncornavirus is a type of virus that belongs to the retrovirus family. Oncornavirus has several names in the scientific literature: oncogenic animal virus or NKO virus.

The main characteristic of oncornavirs is their ability to cause cancer in their hosts. These viruses are agents that cause the body's cells to multiply in the wrong direction. Over time, these malignant cells grow to form tumors, which cause the death of their host.

NKO viruses also have another important feature. They are able to influence the genetic material of living cells, triggering processes that change their structure and functions. In addition, oncornavirus is capable of reproducing only inside living cells and cannot spread beyond their boundaries, which makes it especially dangerous to human health.

Oncornavii are a group of viruses that were originally described as a subfamily of the retrovirus family. Oncornaviuses are viruses that can cause quite serious diseases in humans, including hairy leukoplakia, sarcoidosis or Hodgkin's lymphoma. They can also affect the physiological development of the body and the formation of cancer cells.

The name “oncornavirus” comes from the fact that these viruses were first identified in cancer patients. Today, oncornaviunes are divided into two main groups: retroviruses and papillomaviruses. Retroviruses are better known because they cause
