Natural hosts of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), African green monkeys (AGMs), rarely transmit SIV via breast-feeding. In order to examine the genetic diversity of breast milk SIV variants in this limited-transmission setting, we performed phylogenetic analysis on envelope sequences of milk and plasma SIV variants of AGMs. Low-diversity milk virus populations were compartmentalized from that in plasma. However, this compartmentalization was transient, as the milk virus lineages did not persist longitudinally.
灵长类免疫缺陷病毒(SIV)的天然宿主——绿长尾猴(AGM)通过母乳喂养传播 SIV 的情况很少见。为了在这种有限传播的情况下检测母乳 SIV 变体的遗传多样性,我们对 AGM 母乳和血浆 SIV 变体的包膜序列进行了系统发育分析。低多样性的乳病毒群与血浆病毒群相分离。然而,这种隔离是短暂的,因为乳病毒谱系并没有纵向持续存在。
