  abstract = {{U}p to now, all known env subtype {E} viruses ({CRF}01-{AE}) have had the same mosaic structure with subtype {A}, and no other env subtype {E} {HIV}-1 viruses with non-{A} subtypes in their genomes have been described. {I}n this report, we describe the full-length genome sequence of an env subtype {E} isolate with a recombinant genome different from the prototype {CRF}01-{AE} strains. {T}he 97{CD}-{KTB}-49 strain, obtained from a tuberculosis patient in {K}inshasa, has a complex mosaic genome involving subtypes {A}, {E}, {G}, {H}, {J}, {K}, and several unknown fragments. {T}he {U} sequences formed well-separated clusters together with previously described unknown fragments from {CRF}04-cpx (subtype {I}), and from {Z}321, the oldest intersubtype recombinant isolated in 1976 in the {D}emocratic {R}epublic of {C}ongo. {T}he complex recombinant virus from our study is not an isolated strain ; partial sequencing of a second strain, 97{CD}-{KFE}45, confirmed the breakpoints observed in the 97{CD}-{KTB}-49 strain in the regions sequenced. {T}he complexity of these recombinant strains suggests a longstanding presence of subtype {E} in {C}entral {A}frica.
