  abstract = {{A}frican green monkeys ({AGM}s) represent the most widely distributed non-human primates species in {A}frica. {SIV}agm naturally infects four of the 6 {AGM}s species at high prevalence in a species-specific manner. {T}o date, only limited information is available on molecular characteristics of {SIV}agm infecting {C}hlorocebus tantalus. {H}ere, we characterized the full-length genome of a virus infecting a naturally infected captive {C}. tantalus from {C}ameroon by amplifying and sequencing sub-genomic {PCR} fragments. {T}he isolate ({SIV}agm{TAN}-{CM}545) is 9923 bp long and contained all canonical genes of a functional {S}ly. {SIV}agm{TAN}-{CM}545 showed a mosaic structure, with gag, pol, nef and accessory genes closely related to {SIV}agm{SAB} infecting {C}hlorocebus sabaeus monkeys from west {A}frica, and the env gene, closely related to {SIV}agm{TAN} infecting tantalus monkeys from {C}entral {A}frica. {T}hus {SIV}agm{TAN}-{CM}545 is {SIV}agm{SAB}/{SIV}agm{TAN} recombinant. {T}hese unexpected findings suggest that the evolution of {SIV}agm is more complex than previously thought and warrant further studies.},
