“…In addition, diagnostic gp41 (155 bp) and gag (408 bp) fragments were amplified using newly designed primer sets (Table S3). To confirm their species origin, antibody-positive samples and a subset of negative samples were subjected to mitochondrial 12S sequence analyses (9,52). To determine the number of sampled individuals, microsatellite analysis was performed on all samples collected at the same nesting sites.…”

HIV-1, the cause of AIDS, is composed of four phylogenetic lineages, groups M, N, O, and P, each of which resulted from an independent cross-species transmission event of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) infecting African apes. Although groups M and N have been traced to geographically distinct chimpanzee communities in southern Cameroon, the reservoirs of groups O and P remain unknown. Here, we screened fecal samples from western lowland (n = 2,611), eastern lowland (n = 103), and mountain (n = 218) gorillas for gorilla SIV (SIVgor) antibodies and nucleic acids. Despite testing wild troops throughout southern Cameroon (n = 14), northern Gabon (n = 16), the Democratic Republic of Congo (n = 2), and Uganda (n = 1), SIVgor was identified at only four sites in southern Cameroon, with prevalences ranging from 0.8–22%. Amplification of partial and full-length SIVgor sequences revealed extensive genetic diversity, but all SIVgor strains were derived from a single lineage within the chimpanzee SIV (SIVcpz) radiation. Two fully sequenced gorilla viruses from southwestern Cameroon were very closely related to, and likely represent the source population of, HIV-1 group P. Most of the genome of a third SIVgor strain, from central Cameroon, was very closely related to HIV-1 group O, again pointing to gorillas as the immediate source. Functional analyses identified the cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G as a barrier for chimpanzee-to-gorilla, but not gorilla-to-human, virus transmission. These data indicate that HIV-1 group O, which spreads epidemically in west central Africa and is estimated to have infected around 100,000 people, originated by cross-species transmission from western lowland gorillas.

“…The predominantly Asian macaque radiation (Macacina) is the sister taxon to the predominantly African Papionina, which encompasses mangabeys (Cercocebus, Lophocebus), mandrills and drills (Mandrillus), baboons (Papio), and geladas (Theropithecus) (Szalay and Delson, 1979;Strasser and Delson, 1987). Molecular phylogenetic analyses have consistently shown the mangabeys to be diphyletic; Cercocebus and Mandrillus constitute a sister clade to the LophocebusPapio-Theropithecus (LPT) clade, whose internal phylogenetic relationships remain unresolved (Barnicot and Hewett-Emmett, 1972;Cronin and Sarich, 1976;HewettEmmett et al, 1976;Disotell, 1994;Van Der Kuyl et al, 1995;Harris and Disotell, 1998;Page et al, 1999;Harris, 2000).…”

Rungwecebus kipunji is a recently discovered, critically endangered primate endemic to southern Tanzania. Although phenetically similar to mangabeys, molecular analyses suggest it is more closely related to Papio or possibly descended from an ancient population of baboon-mangabey hybrids. At present, only a single kipunji specimen, an M1-stage juvenile male, is available for study; thus, the cranial morphology of the adult kipunji is unknown. In this study, we used developmental simulation to estimate the adult kipunji's 3D cranial morphology. We examined variation in cercopithecine developmental vectors, applied selected vectors to the juvenile cranium, and compared the resulting simulated adults to actual adult male papionins. Differences between papionin developmental vectors were small and statistically insignificant. This uniformity suggests conservation of an ancestral papionin developmental program. Simulated kipunji adults were likewise extremely similar. As a group, the simulated adults were morphometrically distinct from other papionins, corroborating the kipunji's generic status. Simulated adults were phenetically most similar to Lophocebus aterrimus but were distinguished from all adult papionins by the same unique traits that characterize the kipunji juvenile: a tall neurocranium, broad face, short nasal bones, concave anteorbital profile, and dorsally rotated palate. This concordance between juvenile and estimated-adult morphologies confirms that papionin cranial shape is largely established before M1 eruption. The estimated kipunji adult's neurocranium strongly resembles that of Papio, providing the first cranial evidence supporting their phylogenetic relationship. If the kipunji does indeed have a hybrid origin, then its phenetic affinity to L. aterrimus favors Lophocebus as the proto-kipunji's paternal lineage. Anat Rec, 293:388-401, 2010.

“…BaEV, the baboon endogenous retrovirus (58), and RD 114, the homologous endogenous retrovirus of domestic cats and related species (59), are examples of an endogenization process that is probably completed. Although these ERVs are expressed in embryonic tissue such as placenta or can be induced in tissue culture, they no longer infect their native hosts, and no related exogenous strains have been identified.…”
