Non-canonical nematode endogenous retroviruses resulting from RNA virus glycoprotein gene capture by a metavirus. [PDF]

, 2022
Reverse-transcribing retroviruses exist as horizontally transmitted infectious agents or vertically transmitted endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) resident in eukaryotic genomes, and they are phylogenetically related to the long terminal repeat (LTR) class ...

Fv1 restriction properties beyond the murine leukemia virus [PDF]

, 2021
Restriction factors are cellular proteins that constitute one of the defence mechanisms developed by the host to fight viral infections. Friend virus susceptibility-1 (Fv1) is the prototypic restriction factor known for blocking murine leukemia virus ...

Oxidative Stress in Poultry: Lessons from the Viral Infections

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Reactive species (RS), generally known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), are produced during regular metabolism in the host and are required for many cellular processes such as cytokine transcription, immunomodulation, ion transport, and apoptosis.

Structural basis of suppression of host translation termination by Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus [PDF]

, 2016
Retroviral reverse transcriptase (RT) of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) is expressed in the form of a large Gag–Pol precursor protein by suppression of translational termination in which the maximal efficiency of stop codon read-through depends on

Isolation and Metagenomic Identification of Avian Leukosis Virus Associated with Mortality in Broiler Chicken

Advances in Virology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Avian leukosis virus (ALV) belongs to the family Retroviridae and causes considerable economic losses to the poultry industry. Following an outbreak associated with high mortality in a broiler flock in northern part of Malaysia, kidney tissues from affected chickens were submitted for virus isolation and identification in chicken embryonated egg and ...

Complex Codon Usage Pattern and Compositional Features of Retroviruses

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Retroviruses infect a wide range of organisms including humans. Among them, HIV‐1, which causes AIDS, has now become a major threat for world health. Some of these viruses are also potential gene transfer vectors. In this study, the patterns of synonymous codon usage in retroviruses have been studied through multivariate statistical methods on ORFs ...

A Genome‐Wide Analysis of RNA Pseudoknots That Stimulate Efficient −1 Ribosomal Frameshifting or Readthrough in Animal Viruses

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Programmed −1 ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) and stop codon readthrough are two translational recoding mechanisms utilized by some RNA viruses to express their structural and enzymatic proteins at a defined ratio. Efficient recoding usually requires an RNA pseudoknot located several nucleotides downstream from the recoding site.

MoMuLV‐ts‐1: A Unique Mouse Model of Retrovirus‐Induced Lymphoma Transmitted by Breast Milk

Advances in Virology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Our laboratory has developed a murine model of lymphoma via breast milk transmission of MoMuLV‐ts‐1 (Moloney murine leukemia virus‐temperature sensitive mutant‐1). Uninfected offspring suckled from infected surrogate mothers become infected and develop lymphoma.

Discovery of Retroviral Homologs in Bats: Implications for the Origin of Mammalian Gammaretroviruses [PDF]

, 2012
Gammaretroviruses infect a wide range of vertebrate species where they are associated with leukemias, neurological diseases and immunodeficiencies. However, the origin of these infectious agents is unknown.

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...
