Geographic patterns of koala retrovirus genetic diversity, endogenization and subtype distributions

2021-11-18

Abstract excerpt

Koala retrovirus subtype A is the youngest endogenized retrovirus, providing a unique system to elucidate retroviral-host co-evolution. We characterised KoRV geography using faecal DNA from 192 samples across 20 populations throughout the koala’s range. We reveal an abrupt change in KoRV genetics and incidence at the Victoria/NSW state border. In northern koalas, pol gene copies were ubiquitously present at great...
