Mucous cells(mucocytes) can occur singly or in clusters, and they have pale and sometimes foamy cytoplasm, a distinct cell boundary, and small, peripherally placed, compressed nuclei. Mucocytes often form the lining of cysts or duct-like structures. Occasionally mucocytes are so scanty that they can be identified with confidence only by using stains such as mucicarmine. 2, record 2, English, - mucocyte

SFV [simian foamy virus] is so called because it causes cells to clump together and look, on a slide, like foamy bubbles. It has been called "a virus in search of a disease" and has been tentatively linked to several diseases but without any real evidence. 4, record 7, English, - simian%20foamy%20virus

Simian foamy viruses are commonly found in primates(monkeys), cows, cats and other organisms.... About 70 to 90 percent of non-human primates born in captivity have SFV. Animals with SFV do not display symptoms or become ill. However, recent research suggests that some primates may be pre-disposed to other viruses after being infected with SFV. People who have had contact with non-human primates can become infected with SFV. 5, record 7, English, - simian%20foamy%20virus

Like HIV [human immunodeficiency virus], SFV [simian foamy virus] is a retrovirus, a type that is particularly worrying because it can inject its own genetic material into the DNA of the cells that it infects, making it impossible to eradicate.... cross-species transmission of retroviruses and other pathogens could spark future epidemics similar to HIV. 4, record 7, English, - simian%20foamy%20virus

Le virus spumeux simien (VSS) est un rétrovirus qu'on trouve couramment chez les primates (les singes), les vaches, les chats et d'autres animaux. [...] Environ 70 à 90 % des primates non humains nés en captivité ont le VSS. Les animaux ayant le VSS ne présentent pas de symptômes et ne deviennent pas malades. Cependant, une étude récente indique que certains primates pourraient être prédisposés à contracter d'autres virus, après avoir été infectés au VSS.
