Abstract
Avian RNA tumor viruses are a group with certain characteristics that can be defined by both pathogenic and molecular criteria. Other designations which have been used for RNA tumor virus include leukovirus, oncornavirus (oncogenic RNA), Rous virus, retravirus (reverse transcriptase positive virus), rnadna virus (RNA → DNA virus), and type C Virus. Historically, the viruses have been isolated from birds with certain diseases and so have been named after these diseases. The following viruses are considered to belong to the avian RNA tumor virus group.
