Non-retroviral Endogenous Viral Element Limits Cognate Virus Replication in Aedes aegypti Ovaries
16 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are viral sequences integrated in host genomes. A large number of non-retroviral EVEs was recently detected in Aedes mosquito genomes, leading to the hypothesis that mosquito EVEs may control exogenous infections by closely related viruses. Here, we experimentally investigated the role of an EVE naturally found in Aedes aegypti populations and derived from the widespread...
