Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Identification of replication competent murine gammaretroviruses in commonly used prostate cancer cell lines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
A newly discovered gammaretrovirus, termed XMRV, was recently reported to be present in the prostate cancer cell line CWR22Rv1. Using a combination of both immunohistochemistry with broadly-reactive murine leukemia virus (MLV) anti-sera and PCR, we ...

Genome‐wide identification of endogenous retrovirus elements and their active transcription in mink genome

mLife, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 201-208, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Mammalian endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviruses that have been integrated into genomes. ERVs were believed to be inactive until the discovery of ERV transcription in the mouse genome. However, the transcription level and function of ERV elements in mammalian genomes are not well understood.

Distribution, diversity and evolution of endogenous retroviruses in perissodactyl genomes [PDF]

, 2018
The evolution of mammalian genomes has been shaped by interactions with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). In this study, we investigated the distribution and diversity of ERVs in the mammalian order Perissodactyla, with a view to understanding their impact

The role of viruses in cancer development versus cancer therapy: An oncological perspective

Cancer Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 11127-11148, May 2023., 2023
Virotherapy agents as novel potential agents in the field of cancer therapy are one of the new emerging therapeutic approaches that attract attention in this field. One of the concerning factors is the role of viruses in cancer development, which needed to be explored against their anticancer applications.

A cautionary tale of virus and disease

BMC Biology, 2010
The recent identification of the gammaretrovirus XMRV and a second gammaretrovirus of a different subtype in chronic fatigue syndrome has aroused much interest, not least among sufferers.

Human endogenous retroviruses in cancer: Oncogenesis mechanisms and clinical implications

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 95, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) are viral sequences integrated into the human genome, resulting from the infection of human germ‐line cells by ancient exogenous retroviruses. Despite losing their replication and retrotransposition abilities, HERVs appear to have been co‐opted in human physiological functions while their aberrant ...

Phylogenetic and structural diversity in the feline leukemia virus env gene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) belongs to the genus Gammaretrovirus, and causes a variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases in cats. Alteration of viral env sequences is thought to be associated with disease specificity, but the way in which ...

Health surveillance representative of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) distribution in Victoria, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 100, Issue 12, Page 605-612, December 2022., 2022
Health surveillance of wildlife populations is essential for conservation and reduction of the impacts of disease. Population declines and areas of overabundance of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) can disrupt the overall survival of the species as well as its habitat. This retrospective study was conducted to describe population distributions, identify

Tracking interspecies transmission and long-term evolution of an ancient retrovirus using the genomes of modern mammals

eLife, 2016
Mammalian genomes typically contain hundreds of thousands of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), derived from ancient retroviral infections. Using this molecular 'fossil' record, we reconstructed the natural history of a specific retrovirus lineage (ERV-Fc ...
