Spumaretrovirinae, commonly called spumaviruses (spuma,
cytoplasmic membrane
. Some spumaviruses, including the equine foamy virus (EFV), bud from the cytoplasmic membrane.
Some examples of these viruses are simian foamy virus and the human foamy virus.
While spumaviruses will form characteristic large vacuoles in their host cells while in vitro, there is no disease association in vivo.[3]
