Remnants of an Ancient Deltaretrovirus in the Genomes of Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophidae) [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences provide a rich source of information about the long-term interactions between retroviruses and their hosts. However, most ERVs are derived from a subset of retrovirus groups, while ERVs derived from certain other ...

A dose-effect relationship for deltaretrovirus-dependent leukemogenesis in sheep [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 Background Retrovirus-induced tumors develop in a broad range of frequencies and after extremely variable periods of time, from only a few days to several decades, depending mainly on virus type.

Capture in the metabolic arena: co-selection of gamma and deltaretrovirus envelope glycoproteins and their receptors [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 Although all infectious and replication-competent retroviruses harbor an env gene, the origin of env remains unknown except for that of a few invertebrate retroviruses. It is generally admitted that infectious retroviruses have evolved from endogenous viral retrotransposons by insertion of an ''external'' gene that encodes for a fusion glycoprotein ...

Discovery of an endogenous Deltaretrovirus in the genome of long-fingered bats (Chiroptera: Miniopteridae) [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance Retroviruses copy their RNA genome into complementary DNA, which is then inserted into the host chromosomal DNA as an obligatory part of their life cycle. Such integrated viral sequences, called proviruses, are passed to the infected cell progeny on cellular division.

Molecular Studies of HTLV-1 Replication: An Update
Viruses, 2016 Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first human retrovirus discovered. Studies on HTLV-1 have been instrumental for our understanding of the molecular pathology of virus-induced cancers.
