Ancient hybridization and strong adaptation to viruses across African vervet monkey populations

2016-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Vervet monkeys (genus Chlorocebus , also known as African green monkeys), are highly abundant in savannahs and riverine forests throughout sub-Saharan Africa. They are amongst the most widely distributed nonhuman primates, show considerable phenotypic diversity, and have long been an important biomedical model for a variety of human diseases 1 and in vaccine research 2–4 . They are particularly interesting for...
