The isolate, SIVagmTAN-CA1, was molecularly characterized by sequencing partial genome (similar to 4,000 bp) using the conventional Sanger method and the Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT). In pol and gp41/nef SIVagmTAN-CA1 clusters with SIVagmSAB infecting Chlorocebus sabaeus from West Africa, whereas in env-gp120 it clusters with SIVagmTAN infecting C. tantalus from Central Africa. This mosaic structure is similar to that of a previously reported isolate infecting another tantalus monkey from Cameroon and confirms that the evolution of SIVagm is complex. Our data show that ONT sequencing gives results comparable with conventional Sanger sequencing on SIV and could help in distinguishing recombination and coinfection. specialized SIVagm evolution African green monkeys Cameroon MinION CAMEROUN 052 080 36 2 167-170 2020 0889-2229 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077176 10.1089/aid.2019.0216 0889-2229 [F B010077176] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077176 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/11/010077176.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-12-12 2025-02-24 fdi:010077176 fre
