  abstract = {{E}xploration of the diversity among primate lentiviruses is necessary to elucidate the origins and evolution of immunodeficiency viruses. {D}uring a serological survey in {C}ameroon, we screened 25 wild-born guereza colobus monkeys (#{C}olobus guereza$) and identified 7 with {HIV}/{SIV} cross-reactive antibodies. {I}n this study, we describe a novel lentivirus, named {SIV}col, prevalent in guereza colobus monkeys. {G}enetic analysis revealed that {SIV}col was very distinct from all other known {SIV}/{HIV} isolates, with average amino acid identities of 40% for {G}ag, 50% for {P}ol, 28% for {E}nv, and around 25% for proteins encoded by five other genes. {P}hylogenetic analyses confirmed that {SIV}col is genetically distinct from other previously characterized primate lentiviruses and clusters independently, forming a novel lineage, the sixth in the current classification. #{C}ercopithecinae$ monkeys ({O}ld {W}orld monkeys) are subdivided into two subfamilies, the #{C}olobinae$ and the #{C}ercopithecinae$, and, so far, all #{C}ercopithecidae$ monkeys from which lentiviruses have been isolated belong to the #{C}ercopithecinae$ subfamily. {T}herefore, {SIV}col from guereza colobus monkeys (#{C}. guereza$) is the first primate lentivirus identified in the #{C}olobinae$ subfamily and the divergence of {SIV}col may reflect divergence of the host lineage.
