Exploring the Diversity, Distribution and Evolution of Epsilonretroviruses in Fish

Abstract

Due to their distinct evolutionary and ecological effects, epsilonretroviruses members of the Retroviridae family are essential to comprehending piscine retroviruses. Although they are found in many fish species around the world, little is known about their distribution and evolutionary history, especially in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. In order to clarify their classification, evolutionary patterns, and geographic distribution, this review attempts to collect information from a compilation of existing literature.
