A recent serological survey of wild-born captive monkeys from Gabon, Central Africa, revealed that 1 of 20 Cercopithecus nictitans tested was infected with a new simian T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (STLV-1). We investigated the molecular relationship between the STLV-1 strain present in this C. nictitans (CN01) and the other available HTLV/STLV strains. Phylogenetic analysis of the env (gp46 and gp21) region showed that the new STLV(nict) clusters with the HTLV-1/STLV-1 group and not with the other nictitans STLVs belonging to the STLV-3 group. Moreover, our new STLV(nict) is closely related to the molecular subtype D, which presently includes five HTLV-1 and three mandrill STLV-1 strains from Gabon and two from Cameroon. These data show that C. nictitans may be the natural carrier of two different molecular types of STLV, one related to STLV-3 and the other possibly one of the simian STLV type 1 counterparts of HTLV-1 subtype D.
最近对来自中非加蓬野生出生的圈养猴子进行的血清学调查显示,在20只接受检测的白颈白眉猴中,有1只感染了一种新的1型猿猴嗜T细胞病毒(STLV-1)。我们研究了这只白颈白眉猴(CN01)中存在的STLV-1毒株与其他可用的HTLV/STLV毒株之间的分子关系。对env(gp46和gp21)区域的系统发育分析表明,新的STLV(nict)与HTLV-1/STLV-1组聚类,而不与属于STLV-3组的其他白颈白眉猴STLV聚类。此外,我们的新STLV(nict)与分子亚型D密切相关,目前分子亚型D包括来自加蓬的5株HTLV-1和3株山魈STLV-1毒株以及来自喀麦隆的2株。这些数据表明,白颈白眉猴可能是两种不同分子类型STLV的天然宿主,一种与STLV-3相关,另一种可能是HTLV-1亚型D的猿猴STLV-1对应物之一。
