a novel simian immunodeficiency virus isolated from a schmidt's guenon (cercopithecus ascanius schmidti).	a novel simian immunodeficiency virus (siv) was characterized from a schmidt's guenon (cercopithecus ascanius schmidti), which was housed in a local zoo. the virus infection was detected during a routine serological screening for antibodies that were cross-reactive with sivmac antigens. infection with an immunodeficiency virus was confirmed using an inno-lia hiv confirmation assay. using dna isolated from a blot clot, a 1895 nt partial pol sequence was amplified and sequenced. phylogenetic analy ...	2004	14718615
