Retroviruses exclusively infect vertebrates, causing a variety of diseases. The replication of
retroviruses requires reverse transcription and integration into host genomes. When …

In a previous study, a metatranscriptomics survey of RNA viruses in several important lower
vertebrate host groups revealed huge viral diversity, transforming the understanding of the …

Retroviruses are widely distributed in all vertebrates, as are their endogenous forms,
endogenous retroviruses (ERV), which serve as “fossil” evidence to trace the ancient origins …

A novel Torque teno neovison virus (TTVs) was identified in specimens collected from dead
mink during an outbreak of the Aleutian mink disease virus. Eighteen complete genomic …

Foamy viruses (FVs) are a class of complex retroviruses that could lead to persistent
infections in specific species. FVs have two evolutionary characteristics: the first is co …

Foamy viruses (FVs) are ideal models for studying the long-term evolutionary history
between viruses and their hosts. Currently, FVs have been documented in nearly all major …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) represent remnants of past retroviral infections and have
had a pivotal role in vertebrate evolution, contributing toward novel genes and regulatory …

Phylogenetic reconstruction is central to many research areas in biology, from evolutionary
biology to genomic epidemiology. Reconstruction of a phylogeny is often done based on …

Foamy viruses (FVs) are naturally found in many different animals and also in primates with
the notable exception of humans, but zoonotic infections are common. In several species …

Desde hace unos 500 Ma, los Petromyzontiformes (lampreas) evolucionan de forma
independiente con respecto al resto de los vertebrados, representando uno de los linajes …
