Non-retroviral Endogenous Viral Element Limits Cognate Virus Replication in Aedes aegypti Ovaries [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 SummaryEndogenous viral elements (EVEs) are viral sequences integrated in host genomes. A large number of non-retroviral EVEs was recently detected inAedesmosquito genomes, leading to the hypothesis that mosquito EVEs may control exogenous infections by closely related viruses.

Endogenous Caulimovirids: Fossils, Zombies, and Living in Plant Genomes
Biomolecules, 2023 The Caulimoviridae is a family of double-stranded DNA viruses that infect plants. The genomes of most vascular plants contain endogenous caulimovirids (ECVs), a class of repetitive DNA elements that is abundant in some plant genomes, resulting from the ...

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]
, 2015 In plants, RNA- based gene silencing mediated by small RNAs functions at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to negatively regulate target genes, repetitive sequences, viral RNAs and/or transposon elements.

Endogenous Retrovirus 3 – History, Physiology, and Pathology
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 ...

The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous circoviral elements in vertebrate genomes [PDF]
, 2018 Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, non-enveloped viruses that have short, single-stranded DNA genomes. Circovirus sequences are frequently recovered in metagenomic investigations, indicating that these viruses are widespread, yet they remain ...

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes do not support replication of Zika virus [PDF]
, 2017 The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas raised many questions about the role of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in transmission, in addition to the key role played by the vector Aedes aegypti.

Fusion of piggyBac-like transposons and herpesviruses occurs frequently in teleosts
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background Endogenous viral elements play important roles in eukaryotic evolution by giving rise to genetic novelties. Herpesviruses are a large family of DNA viruses, most of which do not have the ability to endogenize into host genomes.
