Novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolate from a Wild Chimpanzee
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by gram-positive bacteria known as the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). MTBC include several human-associated lineages and several variants adapted to domestic and, more rarely, wild animal species. We report an M. tuberculosis strain isolated from a wild chimpanzee in Côte d'Ivoire that was shown by comparative genomic and phylogenomic analyses to belong t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of a new chimpanzee lentivirus SIVcpz-gab2 from a wild-captured chimpanzee from Gabon.
OF A TOTAL OF 50 chimpanzees wild-captured in different O areas of the tropical iain forest in Gabon, two were found to be positive for HIV-1 antibodies.’ From one chimpanzee a lentivirus, sIv,z,ab, was isolated. As a result of virological and molecular studies it was classified as an HIV-l-related nonhuman Subsequently, another chimpanzee lentivhs, SIVEpz-mo has been isolated from a wild-captu...
متن کاملDNA recovery from wild chimpanzee tools
Most of our knowledge of wild chimpanzee behaviour stems from fewer than 10 long-term field sites. This bias limits studies to a potentially unrepresentative set of communities known to show great behavioural diversity on small geographic scales. Here, we introduce a new genetic approach to bridge the gap between behavioural material evidence in unhabituated chimpanzees and genetic advances in ...
متن کاملPaternity and relatedness in wild chimpanzee communities.
The genetic structure of three contiguous wild chimpanzee communities in West Africa was examined to determine the extent to which the community, the mixed-sex social unit of chimpanzees, represents a closed reproductive unit. An analysis of paternity for 41 offspring resulted in 34 cases of paternity assignment to an adult male belonging to the same community. Among the 14 offspring for which ...
متن کاملSkewed matrilineal genetic composition in a small wild chimpanzee community.
Maternal kinship is important in primate societies because it affects individual behaviour as well as the sustainability of populations. All members of the Bossou chimpanzee community are descended from 8 individuals (herein referred to as original adults) who were already adults or subadults when field observations were initiated in 1976 and whose genetic relationships were unknown. Sequencing...
