This study characterizes endogenous retroviruses in the slow loris, identifying active retroviral elements and their evolutionary dynamics across strepsirrhine primates.

The paper identifies a novel endogenous retrovirus in slow lorises and suggests potential hybridization between species based on viral insertion similarities.

The paper identifies ten novel endogenous retrovirus families in Anuran genomes, revealing recombined states and expanding the known evolutionary history of ERVs beyond mammals.
