  abstract = {{O}ur knowledge on simian immune deficiency virus ({SIV}) diversity and evolution in the different nonhuman primate species is still incomplete. {I}n this study, we report the full genome characterization of a new {SIV} from a red-tailed monkey (2013{DRC}-{I}8), from the {C}ercopithecus ascanius whitesidei subspecies, in the {D}emocratic {R}epublic of {C}ongo ({DRC}). {T}he new full-length genome is 9,926bp long, and the genomic structure is similar to that of other {SIV}s with the absence of vpx and vpu genes. {T}he new {SIV}asc-13{DRC}-{I}8 strain fell within the {C}ercopithecus specific {SIV} lineage. {SIV}asc-13{DRC}-{I}8 and previously reported {SIV}rtg from the {C}.a. schmidti subspecies in {U}ganda did not form a separate species-specific {SIV} lineage. {T}hese observations provide additional evidence for high genetic diversity and the complex evolution of {SIV}s in the {C}ercopithecus genus. {M}ore studies on a large number of monkeys from a wider geographic area are needed to understand {SIV} evolution.},
