A retrovirus is a single-stranded RNA virus that uses the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase to transcribe its genome into a DNA intermediate that integrates into the host cell genome for viral replication.
Un retrovirus es un virus de ARN monocatenario que utiliza la transcriptasa inversa viral para transcribir su genoma en un intermedio de ADN que se integra en el genoma de la célula huésped para la replicación viral.
