For panels A–D grey bars represent assembled viral contigs, while black bars represent the genome of the most closely related known virus. *Indicates percent nucleotide identity over the designated length of the best aligned homologous region (indicated by double headed arrow) compared to the most closely virus genome. Animal numbers are as in .
(A) Contigs from WUHARV Caliciviruses 1 (animal 39), 2 (from an animal not included in the cohort), and 3 (animal 39) compared to Tulane calicivirus. Calicivirus 1 contig 1 derived from 879 sequences, length= 6,578 bp; Calicivirus 2 contig 1 derived from 16 sequences, length=812 bp; Calicivirus 2 contig 2 assembled from 120 sequences, length= 5,083 bp; Calicivirus 3 contig 1 assembled from 14 sequences, length= 750 bp; Calicivirus 3 contig 2 assembled from 67 sequences, length= 2,111 bp; Calicivirus 3 contig 3 assembled from 41 sequences, length= 832 bp; Calicivirus 3 contig 4 assembled from 38 sequences, length=1,273 bp.
(B) Contigs from WUHARV Parvovirus 1 (animal 39) and 2 (animal 35) compared with the sequence of Bufavirus 2. Parvovirus 1 contig 1 assembled from 375 sequences, length= 4,905 bp; Parvovirus 2 contig 1 representing 1 sequence, length= 470 bp; Parvovirus 2 contig 2 assembled from 6 sequences, length= 690 bp.
(C) Contigs from WUHARV Enterovirus 1 (animal 41), 2 (animal 39) and 3 (animal 33) compared with the sequence of Simian enterovirus SV19. Enterovirus 1 assembled from 1,084 sequences, length= 7,273 bp; Enterovirus 2 assembled from 758 sequences, length= 7,128 bp; Enterovirus 3 assembled from 406 sequences, length= 6,962 bp.
(D) Contigs from WUHARV Sapelovirus 1 (animal 42), 2 (animal 41) and 3 (animal 37) compared with the sequence of Simian Sapelovirus 1 strain 2383. Sapelovirus 1 assembled from 3,081 sequences, length= 8,059 bp; Sapelovirus 2 assembled from 2,711 sequences, length= 8,025 bp; Sapelovirus 3 assembled from 380 sequences, length= 6,872 bp.
(E) A chart showing the presence (grey box) of viral sequences in monkeys housed at NEPRC for 24 weeks as detected by PCR using virus-specific primers (). Numbers below the chart refer to the animals in . “a” = lack of detection of a virus likely due to the presence of a divergent virus; “b” = lack of detection of a virus for unknown reasons. “c” = detection of virus sequences in serum samples taken at the time of euthanasia for AIDs.
