  abstract = {{S}imian immunodeficiency viruses ({SIV}s) are found in an extensive number of {A}frican primates, and humans continue to be exposed to these viruses by hunting and handling of primate bushmeat and following occupational exposures to captive nonhuman primates. {H}ere, we report the molecular characterization of a new {SIV} lineage, {SIV}tal, from wild-caught and captive talapoin monkeys ({M}iopithecus ogouensis) from {C}ameroon and {U}.{S}. zoos, respectively. {P}hylogenetic tree analyses of a small fragment in the pol gene indicated that all {SIV}ta{I} strains clustered together forming a single species-specific lineage. {F}ull-length sequence analysis for two strains, {SIV}tal-00{CM}266 and {S}l{V}tal-01{CM}8023, from wild-caught animals in {C}ameroon confirmed that {S}l{V}tal was distinct from all primate lentiviruses isolated so far and represents a new {SIV} lineage. {P}hylogenetic analyses in different viral genes showed a significant clustering of the {S}l{V}tal lineage with the {C}ercopithecus-specific {SIV}s. {I}n addition, {S}l{V}tal and {C}ercopithecus-specific {SIV}s share functional motifs in {G}ag and {E}nv that distinguish them from other primate lentiviruses. {L}ike {SIV}syk and {S}l{V}deb, a vpu gene homologue was also absent in {SIV}tal. {A}lthough northern talapoins belong to the {M}iopithecus genus, their {SIV}s belong to the {C}ercopithecus {SIV} lineage, suggesting evolution from a common ancestor or cross-species transmission between both primate genera.
