"Transmission - the XMRV virus is the key to the viral cascade that the Whittemore Institute has identified in so many of its patients a central question involves how did that did that key get in the door? Viruses don't just jump up and attack people - they need to be transmitted. Its clear that this virus is not spread through the air which means it needs to be transmitted from human to human either via the saliva, blood, semen or mother's milk or some other way."
