Simian T-Lymphotropic Virus Diversity among Nonhuman Primates, Cameroon
Cross-species transmission of retroviruses is common in Cameroon. To determine risk for simian T-cell lymphotropic virus (STLV) transmission from nonhuman primates to hunters, we examined 170 hunter-collected dried blood spots (DBS) from 12 species for STLV. PCR with generic tax and group-specific long terminal repeat primers showed that 12 (7%) specimens from 4 nonhuman primate species were in...
متن کاملEvidence for a second simian T-cell lymphotropic virus type 3 in Cercopithecus nictitans from Cameroon.
Presently, three types of simian T-cell lymphotropic virus (STLV) are known. STLV-1 has been detected in more than 20 different Asian and African primate species; STLV-2 has only two known representatives, in the species Pan paniscus; and STLV-3, previously named STLV-L, thus far has only one strain, in an Eritrean Papio hamadryas (1–3, 7, 11). In our search for African nonhuman-primate retrovi...
متن کاملExposure to Nonhuman Primates in Rural Cameroon
Exposure to nonhuman primates has led to the emergence of important diseases, including Ebola hemorrhagic fever, AIDS, and adult T-cell leukemia. To determine the extent of exposure to nonhuman primates, persons were examined in 17 remote villages in Cameroon that represented three habitats (savanna, gallery forest, and lowland forest). Questionnaire data were collected to assess whether person...
متن کاملSimian T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 from Mandrillus sphinx as a simian counterpart of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 subtype D.
A recent serological and molecular survey of a semifree-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) living in Gabon, central Africa, indicated that 6 of 102 animals, all males, were infected with simian T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (STLV-1). These animals naturally live in the same forest area as do human inhabitants (mostly Pygmies) who are infected by the recently described human T-ce...
متن کاملDilated cardiomyopathy associated with simian AIDS in nonhuman primates.
BACKGROUND Cardiomyopathy is being recognized with increasing frequency in patients with AIDS, yet the relationship between HIV infection and cardiac contractile dysfunction remains obscure. The purpose of the present study was to determine if infection with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in nonhuman primates is associated with cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury. METHODS AND RESUL...
