Koalas are currently undergoing a wave of germline infections by the retrovirus KoRV. Study of this phenomenon not only provides an opportunity for understanding the processes regulating retrovirus endogenization but may also be essential to preventing the extinction of the species.
考拉目前正遭受逆转录病毒考拉逆转录病毒(KoRV)的一波种系感染。对这一现象的研究不仅为理解调节逆转录病毒内源性化的过程提供了机会,而且对于防止该物种灭绝可能也至关重要。
