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

Vaccination directed against the human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope protein inhibits tumor growth in a murine model system [PDF]

, 2013
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-

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.

Structure of the Core Postfusion Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Fusion Protein

mBio, 2022
Retroviral elements from endogenous retroviruses have functions in mammalian physiology. The best-known examples are the envelope proteins that function in placenta development and immune suppression.

Differential Expression of HERV-W in Peripheral Blood in Multiple Sclerosis and Healthy Patients in Two Different Ethnic Groups

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Overexpression of the Human endogenous retrovirus W (HERV-W) group of inherited retroviruses has been consistently linked with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However most of the studies on this link have focused on European genetic groups with a very high risk

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.

The extraordinary evolutionary history of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses [PDF]

, 2013
The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REVs) comprise several closely related amphotropic retroviruses isolated from birds. These viruses exhibit several highly unusual characteristics that have not so far been adequately explained, including their extremely

Genomic analysis of endogenous retrovirus elements in chinese flocks of economic importance [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017
Since the status of endogenous retrovirus elements in Chinese chickens is currently unknown, the embryonated eggs were analyzed from 10 different chicken breeds throughout China. In this study, endogenous retrovirus elements were analyzed including: EAV,

Characterization of porcine endogenous retrovirus expression in neonatal and adult pig pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Pig islets represent an alternative to the current modes of treatment for patients with diabetes. However, the concerns over pathogen transmission including that of PERV limit their immediate, widespread usage in humans.
