Molecular Ecology and Natural History of Simian Foamy Virus Infection in Wild-Living Chimpanzees
Figure 10
Cross-species transmission of SFV in the wild.
The maximum clade credibility (MCC) topology of pol-IN sequences is shown, with branch lengths as described in Figure 6. The chimpanzee SFV strain LB309 (red box) significantly clusters within a group of SFVs previously derived from captive L'Hoest's (LHO), Hamlyn's (HAM), mustached (MUS), DeBrazza's (DEB), mona (MON), Sykes's (SYK) and blue (BLU) monkeys (GenBank accession numbers are indicated in parentheses), thus strongly suggesting a Cercopithecus monkey origin. Newly derived SFV sequences from a bonobo (LM183), gorilla (LP5), mandrill (LP47) and DeBrazza's monkey (CNE01) are also shown (blue) in relation to reference sequences from Chlorocebus and Mandrillus species (black). Numbers on nodes indicate posterior probabilities expressed as percentages (only 90% or higher are shown). The scale bar represents 0.08 substitutions per site.
