TL;DR: The first described SIV (SIVagmMAL-ZMB) from a malbrouck (Chlorocebus cynosuros) is reported, which possessed <80% nucleotide sequence identity to known SIV isolates and was located basally to vervet monkey SIV strains in all phylogenies.
Abstract: To investigate the diversity of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) among nonhuman primates (NHPs) in Zambia, next-generation sequencing was performed to determine the complete genome sequence of a novel SIV recovered by co-culturing African green monkey (AGM) peripheral blood lymphocytes with human CD4+ T-cell lines. We report the first described SIV (SIVagmMAL-ZMB) from a malbrouck (Chlorocebus cynosuros). SIVagmMAL-ZMB was detected by real-time PCR analysis of splenic RNA in 3.2% (3/94) of AGMs and was undetectable in baboons (0/105). SIVagmMAL-ZMB possessed <80% nucleotide sequence identity to known SIV isolates and was located basally to vervet monkey SIV strains in all phylogenies.

TL;DR: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of malbrouck monkey, Chlorocebus cynosuros, with the total length of 16,334 bp, is reported for the first time and contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomalRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop).
Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of malbrouck monkey, Chlorocebus cynosuros, with the total length of 16,334 bp, is reported for the first time. Similar to other monkeys, it contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The base composition was A (32.1%), G (12.4%), C (30.1%), and T (25.4%), so the percentage of A and T (57.5%) was higher than that of G and C. Most of the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 8 tRNA genes. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided here would be useful for further phylogenetic analysis and population genetic studies in C. cynosuros.
