Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus does not pose a risk to blood recipient safety.

Abstract

XMRV and related murine leukemia virus (MLV) markers are not present among a large population of blood donors and evidence of transfusion transmission could not be detected. Thus, these viruses do not currently pose a threat to blood recipient safety and further actions relating to XMRV and MLV are not justified.
