lentivirusn.
/ˈlɛntɪvʌɪrəs/, U.S. /ˈlɛntiˌvaɪrəs/ Virology.
Any member of a group (now the genus Lentivirus) of non-oncogenic retroviruses which includes the viruses responsible for certain slow virus diseases (such as visna and maedi in sheep, equine infectious anaemia, and caprine arthritis-encephalitis) and the human, simian, feline, and bovine immunodeficiency viruses. Also (in form Lentivirus): the genus itself.

1979 Jrnl. Virol. 29 523 By this criterion the lentiviruses form a distinct group of retroviruses unrelated to spuma viruses, mammalian and avian retroviruses that cause tumors, and unclassified retroviruses of cattle and horses.
1985 Jrnl. Royal Soc. Med. 78 613/2 The AIDS virus is a retrovirus of the subfamily Lentivirinae..of which only three other species are known: the lentiviruses causing maedi-visna in sheep, infectious anaemia in horses, and encephalitis-arthritis in goats.
1994 M. Torten & N. Pedersen in G. W. Beran Handbk. Zoonoses (ed. 2) v. 521 Lentivirus infections are characterized by being virtually life-long once they occur.
2006 Arch. Virol. 151 1217 A virucidal profile of these compounds against visna virus (VV), a lentivirus related to HIV, or against other viruses of the genus Lentivirus has not been established before and could help elucidate how lipids inactivate enveloped viruses.
