Identification of recombination in the envelope gene of simian foamy virus serotype 2 isolated from Macaca cyclopis.

Galvin TA, Ahmed IA, Shahabuddin M, Bryan T, Khan AS

Abstract

The full-length sequence of simian foamy virus serotype 2 (SFVmcy-2), isolated from a Taiwanese macaque, was determined. SFVmcy-2 was highly-related to SFV serotype 1 (SFVmcy-1), an isolate from the same species, except in the putative receptor binding domain (RBD) in env, which contained novel sequences related to SFV serotype 3 (SFVagm-3), isolated from an African green monkey. The results identify a potential region of neutralization in SFVs and demonstrate recombination between genetically divergent foamy viruses.
