African green monkeys (AGMs) are divided into four species (Cercopithecus aethiops, C. pygerythrus, C. sabaeus, C. tantalus), each harboring a species-specific simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVagm). Little is known about the host and/or viral factors that are responsible for the apathogenicity of SIVagm infections in their natural hosts. In order to analyze the specific selective pressures exerted by the host on...
