Eco-Epidemiological Profile and Molecular Characterization of Simian Foamy Virus in a Recently-Captured Invasive Population of <i>Leontopithecus chrysomelas</i> (Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Eco-Epidemiological Profile and Molecular Characterization of Simian Foamy Virus in a Recently-Captured Invasive Population of <i>Leontopithecus chrysomelas</i> (Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Simian foamy viruses (SFV) infect a wide range of Old World and Neotropical primates (NP). Unlike Old World primates, little is known about the diversity and prevalence of SFV in NP, mainly from a free-living population. Phylogenetic analyses have shown that SFV coevolved with their hosts.
