'So, to date, even if XMRV involvement in prostate cancer and CFS appear to be controversial, the eradication of XMRV appears to be a good strategy for the disease treatment.'

Didn't find this on PR yet, but correct me if I'm wrong!

Hmmm, seems to me this is less about XMRV variants than about a vaccine for XMRV. This is related to a patent. See here:

As more variants are recorded, the debate about variability will become less significant. I think it is almost at that stage now.
