  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. {T}he purpose of our study was to examine to what extent {P}iliocolobus badius subspecies are infected with {SIV} in order to better characterize {SIV}wrc in general and to gain further insight into the impact of geographic barriers and subspeciation on the evolution of {SIV}wrc. {W}e analysed sixteen faecal samples and two tissue samples of the {P}. b. temminckii subspecies collected in the {A}buko {N}ature {R}eserve ({T}he {G}ambia, {W}est {A}frica). {SIV} infection could only be identified in one tissue sample, and phylogenetic tree analyses of partial pol and env sequences showed that the new {SIV}wrc{P}bt virus is closely related to {SIV}wrc{P}bb strains from {R} b. badius in the {T}ai forest ({C}ote d'{I}voire), thus suggesting that geographically separated subspecies are infected with a closely related virus. {M}olecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the full-length genome sequence confirmed that {SIV}wrc{P}bt is a species-specific {SIV} lineage, although it is distantly related to the {SIV}lho and {SIV}sun lineages across its entire genome. {C}haracterization of additional {SIV}wrc viruses is needed to understand the ancestral phylogenetic relation to {SIV}s from l'{H}oest and sun-tailed monkeys and whether recombination occurred between ancestors of the {SIV}wrc and {SIV}lho/sun lineages.},
