Woolly monkey sarcoma virus (WMSV), with synonym Simian sarcoma virus (often abbreviated by SSV, but this may also stand for some species called Sulfolobus spindle-shaped virus, that belong to different genera in family Fuselloviridae) is a species of gammaretrovirus that infects primates. First isolation was from a fibrosarcoma in a woolly monkey (genus Lagothrix). For its reproduction the virus needs a helper or associated virus which is called Simian sarcoma associated virus (SSAV).[http://www.ictvonline.org/virusTaxonomy.asp International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses][https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser NCBI Taxonomy Browser][http://www.zoologix.com/primate/Datasheets/SimianSarcomaVirus.htm Zoologix] Simian sarcoma virus (SSV) and simian sarcoma associated virus (SSAV)
