Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a highly divergent simian T-lymphotropic virus, STLV-PP1664, from a wild-caught bonobo (Pan paniscus). Previous phylogenetic analysis suggested that this virus represents an additional type of STLV but this has now become a matter of discussion. We have now obtained and analyzed the entire genome of STLV-PP1664. All major genes and their corresponding viral messengers were identified. Sequence...
