I translated the following (from Spanish) in google translate:

Now, it's difficult for me to understand whether he means that he would check this virus too in these samples, or wether when he says "this or other viruses" he means something like: "one virus or another virus", without saying that he would test for XMRV too.
If he does test for XMRV, I'm arfraid it might not be an aprropriate test, because as we've learned testing for XMRV and actually finding it if it's there is difficult and complicated - and you probably have to really want to test it in the best way in order to find it.
By the way, Van der Meer inserts himself to this atricle too.
After these steps for the SFC, a few months later, in 2010 from the UK sowed doubts about this discovery. According to Myra McClure, one of the authors of "counter report" conducted by King's College and Imperial College London, the analysis shows that "there is no link between XMRV and the CFS, at least in the UK." Conclusions reached after analyzing blood samples from 186 people who suffered for years with this condition, some of whom were disabled by it. Perhaps, therefore recent studies, published in "PLoS One", point to the possibility of using anti-HIV drugs to alleviate the SFC, in dealing with the XMRV virus involved in infectious disease.
It should be noted that following this work in Spain, from the Hospital del Mar, is coordinating a comprehensive study of more than 4,000 samples collected from affected with CFS and fibromyalgia, "in order to analyze the presence of this or other viruses and provide definitive answers to the patients, "explains Javier Rivera says, a rheumatologist at the Hospital Provincial Institute Gregorio Maranon de Madrid and spokesman of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology (SER).
