A High Frequency of Detection of Recombinant Koala Retrovirus (recKoRV) in Victorian Koalas Suggests Historic Integration of KoRV
2024-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Recombinant koala retrovirus (recKoRV) is a recently discovered variant of koala retrovirus (KoRV), which likely emerged due to the insertion of another retrovirus (likely Phascolarctos endogenous retrovirus) into the backbone of KoRV. KoRV endogenisation was thought to be ongoing in Victoria based on the low prevalence of the virus based on molecular detection of the pol gene, however recKoRV was not incorporate...
