The diversity of endogenous viral elements in insects

Résumé

We provide an overview of the currently known diversity of viral sequences integrated into insect genomes. Such endogenous viral elements (EVE) have so far been annotated in at least eight insect orders and can be assigned to at least three families of large double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses, at least 22 families of RNA viruses, and three families of single-stranded DNA viruses. The study of these EVE has already produced important insights into insect-virus interactions, including the discovery of a new form of adaptive antiviral immunity. Insect EVE diversity will continue to increase as new insect genomes and exogenous viruses are sequenced, which will continue to make paleovirology a vibrant research field in this group of animals in the years to come.
