Figure 6

Phylogenetic tree of the 425-bp fragments of the SFV integrase sequences obtained from two workers at the Primate Centre of the CIRMF. The two cases of SFV infection are in colour: red for the first and blue for the second. The origin of the first SFV sequence (H1CIRMF) is clearly defined as a mandrill (Mnd2ACDP), shown in the same colour. The second SFV sequence (H2CIRMF) clusters with Asian macaque sequences. The tree was inferred as described in Figure 2. Identified by an asterisk are the three published mandrill sequences known to infect humans. Human sequences are indicated by H (for human), a number (1 or 2) and CIRMF (Centre International de recherches Médicales de Franceville), where the study was performed.
