Feline Foamy Virus is Highly Prevalent in Free-Ranging Puma concolor from Colorado, Florida and Southern California

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Feline foamy virus (FFV) is a retrovirus that has been detected in multiple feline species, including domestic cats (Felis catus) and pumas (Puma concolor). FFV results in persistent infection but is generally thought to be apathogenic.

Characterization of HERV-K (HML-2) Rec proteins encoded in the human genome and their post-transcriptional function

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) proviruses of the HML-2 subgroup are the most recently integrated retroviral elements within the human genome. The HERV-K Rec protein, a functional homolog of HIV Rev, is essential for the expression of viral mRNAs ...

Retroviral Vectors for Analysis of Viral Mutagenesis and Recombination

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Retrovirus population diversity within infected hosts is commonly high due in part to elevated rates of replication, mutation, and recombination. This high genetic diversity often complicates the development of effective diagnostics, vaccines, and ...

The Epidemiology of Koala Retrovirus

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Epidemiology, 2011
A novel Gammaretrovirus, named Koala retrovirus (KoRV) was identified in koalas in 2000. Subsequent testing has shown that KoRV appears to be widespread throughout the wild koala population in Australia. KoRV is apparently unique in that it is the only known example of an exogenous retrovirus which is actively undergoing the process of endogenisation ...

Letermovir in Refractory and Resistant CMV After Lung Transplantation: Therapeutic Potential and Emergence of Resistance

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Letermovir use for active R/R CMV infection was associated with treatment‐emergent resistance in approximately one‐third of patients, particularly in those with high baseline viral loads and delayed virological response. These findings support careful patient selection, close virological monitoring, and early resistance testing.

The host-retrovirus co-phylogenetic relationship in non-avian/mammalian vertebrates.

open access: yes, 2018
(A) to (D) correspond to lineages I to IV with asterisks in Fig 1. For (A) to (D), the left and right panels represent retrovirus and host phylogenies, respectively. The dash lines indicate host-retrovirus association. Retroviruses of fishes, amphibians,

HTLV screening and confirmatory testing among blood donors in São Paulo: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1/2) are transfusion‐transmissible retroviruses associated with severe diseases, and blood donor screening is mandatory in Brazil. Increasing HTLV‐related discard rates at our institution prompted this study to determine the prevalence and incidence of HTLV‐1/2 and to investigate

Abstract 5340: Retrovirus insertion induces syncytin mediated exosomes delivery in prostate cancer cells

open access: yes, 2017
Activation of retroviruses in normal cells can induce tumors and a wide array of cancers contains retrovirus-like particles. The potential role of these endogenous retroviruses in the development and progression of tumors has been discussed in many ...

Vitamin E supplementation with interferon-γ administration retards immune dysfunction during murine retrovirus infection

open access: yes, 1995
Murine retrovirus infection induces loss of vitamin E and immune dysfunction with loss of cytokine production by T-helper cells. Therefore interferon-γ (IFN-γ) was given during dietary vitamin E supplementation to effectively prevent murine retrovirus ...
