Molecular architecture and conservation of an immature human endogenous retrovirus [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) is the most recently acquired endogenous retrovirus in the human genome and is activated and expressed in many cancers and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Further varieties of ancient endogenous retrovirus in human DNA [PDF]
Mobile DNAA retrovirus inserts its genome into the DNA of a cell, occasionally a germ-line cell that gives rise to descendants of the host organism: it is then called an endogenous retrovirus (ERV).

Are dogs not susceptible to retroviral infections?
Animal Diseases, 2023 Retroviruses have been proven to cause infections and diseases in a series of mammalian hosts but not in dogs. Then, this letter discussed the dog susceptibility to retrovirus infection, encompassing arguments to understand why dogs may have not been ...

The restriction of zoonotic PERV transmission by human APOBEC3G. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The human APOBEC3G protein is an innate anti-viral factor that can dominantly inhibit the replication of some endogenous and exogenous retroviruses. The prospects of purposefully harnessing such an anti-viral defense are under investigation.

The Kidney-Associated Microbiome of Wild-Caught Artibeus spp. in Grenada, West Indies
Animals, 2021 Bats are capable of asymptomatically carrying a diverse number of microorganisms, including human pathogens, due to their unique immune system. Because of the close contact between bats and humans, there is a possibility for interspecies transmission and

An endogenous lentivirus in the germline of a rodent
Retrovirology, 2022 Lentiviruses (genus Lentivirus) are complex retroviruses that infect a broad range of mammals, including humans. Unlike many other retrovirus genera, lentiviruses have only rarely been incorporated into the mammalian germline.

Vaccination against the Koala Retrovirus (KoRV): Problems and Strategies
Animals, 2021 The koala retrovirus (KoRV) is spreading in the koala population from the north to the south of Australia and is also in the process of endogenization into the koala genome.
