  abstract = {{D}e {B}razza's monkeys ({C}ercopithecus neglectus) are non-human primates ({NHP}) living in {E}quatorial {A}frica from {S}outh {C}ameroon through the {C}ongo-{B}asin to {U}ganda. {A}s most of the {NHP} living in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica, they are naturally infected with their own simian lentivirus, {SIV}deb. {P}revious studies confirmed this infection for {D}e {B}razza's from {E}ast {C}ameroon and {U}ganda. {I}n this report, we studied the genetic diversity of {SIV}deb in {D}e {B}razza's monkeys from different geographical areas in {S}outh {C}ameroon and from the {D}emocratic {R}epublic of {C}ongo ({DRC}). {SIV}deb strains from east, central and western equatorial {A}frica form a species-specific monophyletic lineage. {P}hylogeographic clustering was observed among {SIV}deb strains from {C}ameroon, the {DRC} and {U}ganda, but also among primates from distinct areas in {C}ameroon. {T}hese observations suggest a longstanding virus host co-evolution. {SIV}deb prevalence is high in wild {D}e {B}razza's populations and thus represents a current risk for humans exposed to these primates in central {A}frica.},
