DIVERSITY OF RIBONUCLEIC ACID (RNA) VIRUS ENDOGENOUS VIRAL ELEMENTS (EVEs) IN INSECT GENETIC MATERIAL

Abstract

Many different RNA viruses infect insects, but the capacity to transmit to a single or numerous host species sets them apart. Through recipient transcription and replication, viral chromosomes may be incorporated into their host genes, resulting in the emergence of endogenous viral elements (EVEs). It has proven possible to find RNA virus EVEs in various of insect genomes with varying evolutionary paths, from extremely damaged genetic remnants to partial and full viral coding sections, in several different insects.Insect–virus contact has benefited much from research on these EVE, such as developing a novel kind of intuitive antiviral immunity . From a functional standpoint, RNA EVEs' effects on hosts and migratory viruses are still mostly unknown,However, new research shows that they are involved in a complicated arms race that affects the genetic path of these interdependent organisms. As additional insect genotypes and extrinsic viral are decoded, the variety of insect EVEs will continue to grow, making paleovirology an exciting study area for insects in the coming years
