Molecular Ecology and Natural History of Simian Foamy Virus Infection in Wild-Living Chimpanzees (original) (raw)

Evolutionary relationships of newly derived SFVcpz strains in the _pol_-RT region.
_Pol_-RT (718 bp) sequences were analyzed as described in Figure 6. The tree was rooted using LM183 as an outgroup. Posterior probabilities are indicated on well-supported nodes, either as asterisks (100%) or filled circles (90%–99%). Newly identified SFVcpz strains are color coded according to their subspecies of origin (Figure 1). One representative strain from the database (HFV) is shown in black. Plus signs (+) denote sequences that represent placeholders of multiple viruses with identical sequences (Table S2). Sample WE464 (boxed) was collected in the P. t. vellerosus range, but has a P. t. troglodytes mtDNA haplotype (Figure S1). Arrows identify distinct SFVcpz strains (termed A or B) that were found in the same sample. The scale bar represents 0.02 substitutions per site.
