| full genome characterization of a new simian immune deficiency virus lineage in a naturally infected cercopithecus ascanius whitesidei in the democratic republic of congo reveals high genetic diversity among red-tailed monkeys in central and eastern africa. | our knowledge on simian immune deficiency virus (siv) diversity and evolution in the different nonhuman primate species is still incomplete. in this study, we report the full genome characterization of a new siv from a red-tailed monkey (2013drc-i8), from the cercopithecus ascanius whitesidei subspecies, in the democratic republic of congo (drc). the new full-length genome is 9,926 bp long, and the genomic structure is similar to that of other sivs with the absence of vpx and vpu genes. the new ... | 2017 | 28383997 |
