Uncovering the Repertoire of Endogenous Flaviviral Elements in Aedes Mosquito Genomes
24 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Endogenous viral elements derived from nonretroviral RNA viruses have been described in various animal genomes. Whether they have a biological function, such as host immune protection against related viruses, is a field of intense study. Here, we investigated the repertoire of endogenous flaviviral elements (EFVEs) in Aedes mosquitoes, the vectors of arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya viruses....
