  abstract = {{M}ustached monkeys ({C}ercopithecus cephus), which form a significant component of primate bushmeat in west central {A}frica, are infected with simian immunodeficiency virus ({SIV}mus). {W}e identified and genetically characterized five new {S}l{V}mus strains infecting wild living mustached monkeys from {C}ameroon. {P}hylogenetic analysis of partial pol sequences revealed that {S}l{V}mus strains form two distinct groups within the clade comprised of lentiviruses isolated from {C}ercopithecus nictitans ({SIV}gsn), {C}ercopithecus mona ({SIV}mon) and {C} cephus ({S}l{V}mus). {C}haracterisation of three full-length {SIV}mus genomes confirmed the presence of two distinct lineages infecting mustached monkeys. {T}hese two variants of {SIV}mus, here designated {SIV}mus-1 and {SIV}mus-2, were isolated from animals sharing habitats within the same geographic region. {P}hylogenetic analyses showed that the diversification of {S}l{V}mus, {SIV}gsn and {SIV}mon involved inter-lineage recombination, and suggested that one of the {SIV}mus lineages likely resulted from cross-species transmission and recombination involving {SIV}mus and an as yet uncharacterized {SIV}. {T}hese results indicate that cross-species transmission and recombination play a major role in the evolution of primate lentiviruses among sympatric primate species.},
