| molecular characterization of a novel simian immunodeficiency virus lineage (sivtal) from northern talapoins (miopithecus ogouensis). | simian immunodeficiency viruses (sivs) are found in an extensive number of african primates, and humans continue to be exposed to these viruses by hunting and handling of primate bushmeat and following occupational exposures to captive nonhuman primates. here, we report the molecular characterization of a new siv lineage, sivtal, from wild-caught and captive talapoin monkeys (miopithecus ogouensis) from cameroon and u.s. zoos, respectively. phylogenetic tree analyses of a small fragment in the p ... | 2006 | 16469345 |
