Nomenclature for endogenous retrovirus (ERV) loci [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2018 Retroviral integration into germline DNA can result in the formation of a vertically inherited proviral sequence called an endogenous retrovirus (ERV).

Endogenization of a Prosimian Retrovirus during Lemur Evolution [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Studies of viruses that coevolved with lemurs provide an opportunity to understand the basal traits of primate viruses and provide an evolutionary context for host-virus interactions.

Reconstitution of an infectious human endogenous retrovirus.
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 The human genome represents a fossil record of ancient retroviruses that once replicated in the ancestors of contemporary humans. Indeed, approximately 8% of human DNA is composed of sequences that are recognizably retroviral.

Endogenous Retrovirus 3 – History, Physiology, and Pathology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Endogenous viral elements (EVE) seem to be present in all eukaryotic genomes. The composition of EVE varies between different species. The endogenous retrovirus 3 (ERV3) is one of these elements that is present only in humans and other Catarrhini ...

Human Endogenous Retrovirus as Therapeutic Targets in Neurologic Disease [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2021 Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are ancient retroviral DNA sequences established into germline. They contain regulatory elements and encoded proteins few of which may provide benefits to hosts when co-opted as cellular genes. Their tight regulation

Ancestry of a human endogenous retrovirus family [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1989 The human endogenous retrovirus type II (HERVII) family of HERV genomes has been found by Southern blot analysis to be characteristic of humans, apes, and Old World monkeys. New World monkeys and prosimians lack HERVII proviral genomes. Cellular DNAs of humans, common chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, but not lesser ape lar gibbons, appear to ...

Transspecies Transmission of the Endogenous Koala Retrovirus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2006 ABSTRACTThe koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a gammaretrovirus closely related to the gibbon ape leukemia virus and induces leukemias and immune deficiencies associated with opportunistic infections, such as chlamydiosis. Here we characterize a KoRV newly isolated from an animal in a German zoo and show infection of human and rat cell lines in vitro and of ...

Identification of receptors for pig endogenous retrovirus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Xenotransplantation of porcine tissues has the potential to treat a wide variety of major health problems including organ failure and diabetes. Balanced against the potential benefits of xenotransplantation, however, is the risk of human infection with a porcine microorganism.

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 an endogenous retrovirus class in elephants and their relatives [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Abstract Background Endogenous retrovirus-like elements (ERV-Ls, primed with tRNA leucine) are a diverse group of reiterated sequences related to foamy viruses and widely distributed among mammals. As shown in previous investigations, in many primates and rodents this class of elements has remained ...
