Note that three retrovirus species, specifically Gardner-Arnstein feline sarcoma virus, guinea pig type-C oncovirus, viper retrovirus, were abolished and removed from the Master Species List due to a current lack of sufficient sequence information for their exemplar virus isolates.

Retrovirus isolates containing a host cell-derived oncogene.
