African origin of polyomavirus JC and implications for prehistoric human migrations.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2003

Pavesi Angelo

Abstract excerpt

The presence of distinctive types of JC virus (JCV) in the main ethnic groups suggests a close coevolution with the human host. However, phylogenetic trees of JCV show a basal clade of European lineages (Types 1/4), whereas trees of human genes are coherent in placing the first split between Afri...
