“…It is well known that HTLV-1 can be transmitted under different routes: sexual, mother-to-child and contact with infected blood. However, STLV-1 transmission occurs mostly through aggressive contacts instead of mother to infant or sexual transmissions [64–68], even if sexual transmission of STLV-1 is more important in NHPs such as vervet [40].…”

STLV-1 as a model for studying HTLV-1 infection

Few years after HTLV-1 identification and isolation in humans, STLV-1, its simian counterpart, was discovered. It then became clear that STLV-1 is present almost in all simian species. Subsequent molecular epidemiology studies demonstrated that, apart from HTLV-1 subtype A, all human subtypes have a simian homolog. As HTLV-1, STLV-1 is the etiological agent of ATL, while no case of TSP/HAM has been described. Given its similarities with HTLV-1, STLV-1 represents a unique tool used for performing clinical studies, vaccine studies as well as basic science.

“…SFV infection is asymptomatic, although a recent report described lower levels of hemoglobin in infected humans (1). SFV seroprevalence can reach >75% in captive and wild NHPs (2), and at least 31 and 45 NHP species are infected with STLV-1 and SIV, respectively (3, 4). Since these three retroviruses have common modes of transmission, coinfections are frequent in NHPs and might have a biological impact (5).…”

The full-length sequence of a Papio anubis simian foamy provirus was obtained by using PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. This simian foamy virus from a P. anubis animal (SFVp.anubis) is 13,393 bp long. Like other proviruses, the genome of SFVp.anubis is organized with long terminal repeats (LTRs), as well as gag, pol, env, tas, and bet genes. SFVp.anubis is closer to Old World African strains than to New World ones.

“…It has been used as experimental models for human disease studies considering that the species of chimpanzee and gorilla despite that they are more closely related human [1], they are endangered species. Especially, mandrill has been used in immune systems researches such as bacterial infections [2, 3], parasite infections [4, 5] and viral diseases especially for the study of SIV strains infection [6, 7]. However, comparing to chimpanzee and gorilla, mandrill only has the mitochondrial genomes established, without comprehensive genome information available.…”
