As a simian species, the langurs are not known to harbor simian retroviruses, except for one report on a simian Type D endogenous retrovirus from the spectacled langur (Trachypithecus obscurus) from Malaysia. The present report describes for the first time natural infection of the common Hanuman langur (Semnopithecus entellus) from India by a novel simian retrovirus (SRV). The new SRV is phylogenetically related to but distinct from the three molecularly characterized serotypes, SRV 1-3, of the five known serotypes of SRVs, based on sequence analyses from the 3'orf and env regions of the viral genome. The novel SRV isolated from the Indian Hanuman langur is provisionally named SRV-6.
作为一种猿猴物种，除了一份关于来自马来西亚的戴帽叶猴（Trachypithecus obscurus）的猿猴D型内源性逆转录病毒的报告外，叶猴并不被认为携带猿猴逆转录病毒。本报告首次描述了来自印度的普通哈努曼叶猴（Semnopithecus entellus）被一种新型猿猴逆转录病毒（SRV）自然感染的情况。基于病毒基因组3'orf和env区域的序列分析，这种新的SRV在系统发育上与已知的五种血清型SRV中的三种分子特征血清型SRV 1-3相关，但又有所不同。从印度哈努曼叶猴中分离出的新型SRV被暂定为SRV-6。
