  abstract = {{A}lthough it is now well established that a substantial proportion of wild-living primates in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica harbor {SIV}, no study to date has examined to what extent the various species are naturally infected. {I}n this study, we first describe the development and validation of sensitive and specific {SIV} antibody detection assays representing all major known primate lentiviral lineages on a panel of 207 sera from 11 different primate species with known infection status. {T}he newly developed assays were then used to determine {SIV} prevalence rates in nine primate species native to {C}ameroon. {A}nalysis of 722 sera revealed widely varying prevalence rates, ranging from an apparent absence of {SIV} infection in crested mona (0/70), grey checked (0/36) and agile mangabeys (0/92), to prevalence rates of 3%, 4%, 11%, 27%, 39% and 52% for mustached (6/203), greater spot-nosed (8/193), northern talapoin (3/26), mantled guereza (14/52), {D}e {B}razza's (9/23) and mandrill (14/27) monkeys, respectively. {T}he epidemiology of naturally occurring {SIV} infections is thus more complex than previously appreciated and the various non-human primate hosts seem to differ in their susceptibility to {SIV} infection. {T}he newly developed assays should now permit to define with greater accuracy existing {SIV} reservoirs and associated human zoonotic risk.
