|description=''Snakehead fish retrovirus'' (SnRV) is a retrovirus originally isolated from a spontaneously productive infection of the SSN-1 cell line, derived from the Southeast Asian striped snakehead fish (''Ophicephalus striatus'') ([[Literature:29547|Hart ''et al.'' 1996]]). SnRV within ''Retroviridae'' family (''International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses'' -ICTV- [[Literature:100589|Fauquet ''et al''. 2005]]) and according to [[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al''. 2009]] is located within Class 1 of the [[Retroviridae|''Retroviridae'']] family. The genomic structure of SnRV is 10 Kb in length, including LTRs of 518 bp of sequence at each end of the proviral genome ([[Literature:29547|Hart ''et al.'' 1996]]). The internal region of this retrovirus displays a Primer Binding Site (PBS) complementary to a tRNA<sup>Arg</sup>, four Open Reading Frames (ORFs) for ''gag'', ''pol'' (PR, RT, RNase H, INT) and ''env'' (in two different ORFs located upstream of gag and downstream the ORF 1) genes characteristic of retroviruses, and with three different accessory genes of undescribed function (ORF 1, ORF 2 and ORF 3) as well as a Polypurine Tract (PPT) adjacent to the 3´LTR ([[Literature:29547|Hart ''et al.'' 1996]]).
