Résumé

We investigated the proviral copies and RNA expression in koala retrovirus (KoRV)-infected koalas. To ascertain any variation in viral load by institution, age, sex, or body condition score, we quantified KoRV proviral DNA and RNA loads in captive koalas (n = 37) reared in Japanese zoos. All koalas were positive for KoRV genes (pol, LTRs, and env of KoRV-A) in genomic DNA (gDNA), and 91.89% were positive for the pol gene in RNA. In contrast, the distribution rates of KoRV-B, KoRV-C, KoRV-D, and KoRV-F env genes in gDNA were 94.59%, 27.03%, 67.57%, and 54.05%, respectively. A wide inter-individual variation and/or a significant inter-institutional difference in proviral DNA (p < 0.0001) and RNA (p < 0.001) amounts (copies/10
