  abstract = {{L}ike most emerging infectious disease viruses, {HIV} is also of {Z}oonotic origin. {T}o assess the risk for cross-species transmission of simian immunodeficiency viruses ({SIV}s) from nonhuman primates to humans in the {D}emocratic {R}epublic of the {C}ongo, we collected 330 samples derived from nonhuman primate bushmeat at 3 remote forest sites. {SIV} prevalences were estimated by using a novel high-throughput assay that included 34 {HIV} and {SIV} antigens in a single well. {O}verall, 19% of nonhuman primate bushmeat was infected with {SIV}s, and new {SIV} lineages were identified. {H}ighest {SIV} prevalences were seen in red-tailed guenons (25%) and {T}shuapa red colobus monkeys (24%), representing the most common hunted primate species, thus increasing the likelihood for cross-species transmission. {A}dditional studies are needed to determine whether other {SIV}s crossed the species barrier. {W}ith the newly developed assay, large-scale screening against many antigens is now easier and faster.},
