Endogenous betaretroviruses of sheep: teaching new lessons in retroviral interference and adaptation [PDF]
, 2004 The endogenous betaretroviruses of small ruminants offer an excellent model to investigate the biological relevance of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Approximately twenty copies of endogenous betaretroviruses (enJSRVs) are present in the genome of sheep

Mammalian Endogenous Retroviruses
Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT Over 40% of mammalian genomes comprise the products of reverse transcription. Among such retrotransposed sequences are those characterized by the presence of long terminal repeats (LTRs), including the endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which are inherited genetic elements closely resembling the proviruses formed following exogenous ...

Differential resistance to cell entry by porcine endogenous retrovirus subgroup A in rodent species [PDF]
, 2007 Background: The risk of zoonotic infection by porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) has been highlighted in the context of pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The use of receptors for cell entry often determines the host range of retroviruses.

Spatiotemporal variations in retrovirus-host interactions among Darwin’s finches
Nature Communications, 2022 Endogenous retroviruses (ERV) are inherited remains of retroviruses that have colonized host genomes during evolution. Here the authors observe considerable species-specific ERV variation among Darwin’s finches, reflecting historic retrovirus-host ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Glioblastoma Multiforme
Microorganisms, 2021 Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and deadly brain tumor. It is primarily diagnosed in the elderly and has a 5-year survival rate of less than 6% even with the most aggressive therapies.

Characterization of Endogenous Retroviruses in Sheep [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2003 ABSTRACT Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences have been found in all mammals. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed ERV activation and cross-species infection in several species. Sheep ( Ovis aries ) are used for various biotechnological purposes; however, they have not yet been comprehensively ...

Marine origin of retroviruses in the early Palaeozoic Era
Nature Communications, 2017 Endogenous retroviruses are viruses that have become integrated into the genomes of their hosts. Here, the authors investigate the evolution of foamy-like endogenous retroviruses, and, by taking into account the temporal dynamics of the rate of viral ...

Endogenous viral sequences from the Cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica) reveal the presence of foamy viruses in all major placental mammal clades. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Endogenous retroviruses provide important insights into the deep history of this viral lineage. Endogenous foamy viruses are thought to be very rare and only a few cases have been identified to date.
