Endogenous viral elements in mosquito genomes: current knowledge and outstanding questions

2021-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Integrations from non-retroviral RNA viruses (nrEVEs) have been identified across several taxa, including mosquitoes. Amongst all Culicinae species, the viral vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus stand out for their high number of nrEVEs. In addition, Aedes nrEVEs are enriched in piRNA clusters and generate piRNAs that can silence incoming viral genomes. As such, nrEVEs represent a new form of inherited anti...
