Evolutionary History of Endogenous Human Herpesvirus 6 Reflects Human Migration out of Africa [PDF]
, 2021 Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6) can integrate into the germline, and as a result, similar to 70 million people harbor the genome of one of these viruses in every cell of their body.

Caulimoviridae evolution through paleovirological approaches [PDF]
, 2021 Les séquences virales endogènes (EVE) sont des séquences nucléiques d’origine virale, intégrées dans le génome de leurs hôtes par des mécanismes de transfert de gène horizontal (HGT) passif ou actif. Elles constituent des fossiles moléculaires qui permettent d’accéder à des séquences virales dont l’âge peut atteindre plusieurs millions d’années et ...

Type W Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV-W) Integrations and Their Mobilization by L1 Machinery: Contribution to the Human Transcriptome and Impact on the Host Physiopathology [PDF]
, 2017 Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) are ancient infection relics constituting ~8% of our DNA. While HERVs' genomic characterization is still ongoing, impressive amounts of data have been obtained regarding their general expression across tissues. Among

HERVs, immunity, and autoimmunity: understanding the connection. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Since their discovery in the 1960s, further investigation into endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) has challenged the conventional view of viral sequences as exclusively parasitic elements. Once presumed to be a group of passive genetic relics, it is becoming

The Intra-Dependence of Viruses and the Holobiont. [PDF]
, 2017 Animals live in symbiosis with the microorganisms surrounding them. This symbiosis is necessary for animal health, as a symbiotic breakdown can lead to a disease state.

Host-acquired virus genes support an ancient antiviral role of the piRNA pathway in dipterans [PDF]
, 2023 Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) have been recently investigated as a source of transgenerational immune memory. These “viral fossils” are abundant in Aedes mosquitoes and partner with the host’s primary antiviral defense system, the RNA interference ...

The evolution of endogenous retroviral envelope genes in bats and their potential contribution to host biology [PDF]
, 2019 Bats are the primary reservoirs and carriers of a wide range of viruses of unknown infectivity and pathogenic potential. Some of those if transmitted to other species can cause enormous economic losses in agriculture, and mortality in humans. Bats can be
