Abstract

We describe endogenous viral elements (EVEs) derived from parvoviruses (family <i>Parvoviridae</i>) in the long-tailed chinchilla (<i>Chinchilla lanigera</i>) and degu (<i>Octodon degus</i>) genomes. The novel EVEs include Dependovirus-related elements, and representatives of a clearly distinct parvovirus lineage that also has endogenous representatives in marsupial genomes. In the degu, one dependovirus-derived EVEs was found to encode an intact reading frame, and was differentially expressed <i>in vivo</i>, with increased expression in the liver.
