However, most data available arose from studies led on captive individuals and little is known about CMV diversity in wild NHPs. Here, we analyzed a community of wild nonhuman primates (seven species) in Ta\u00ef National Park (TNP), C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, with two PCR systems targeting betaherpesviruses. CMV DNA was detected in 17\/87 primates (4\/7 species). Six novel CMVs were identified in sooty mangabeys, Campbell\u2019s monkeys and Diana monkeys, respectively. In 3\/17 positive individuals (from three NHP species), different CMVs were co-detected. A major part of the glycoprotein B coding sequences of the novel viruses was amplified and sequenced, and phylogenetic analyses were performed that included three previously discovered CMVs of western red colobus from TNP and published CMVs from other NHP species and geographic locations. We find that, despite this locally intensified sampling, NHP CMVs from TNP are completely host-specific, pinpointing the absence or rarity of cross-species transmission. We also show that on longer timescales the evolution of CMVs is characterized by frequent co-divergence with their hosts, although other processes, including lineage duplication and host switching, also have to be invoked to fully explain their evolutionary relationships.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v10010011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,29]],"date-time":"2017-12-29T10:58:47Z","timestamp":1514545127000},"page":"11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Cytomegaloviruses in a Community of Wild Nonhuman Primates in Ta\u00ef National Park, C\u00f4te D\u2019Ivoire"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Augustin","family":"Anoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UFR de Biosciences\/Laboratoire de Zoologie et Biologie Animale, Universit\u00e9 Felix Houphou\u00ebt Boigny, Abidjan BP 1174, Cote D\u2019Ivoire"},{"name":"Centre de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement, Universit\u00e9 Alassane Ouattara, Bouak\u00e9 BP 1174, Cote D\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sripriya","family":"Murthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division 12 Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Viruses Affecting Immunocompromised Patients, Robert Koch Institute, Seestrasse 10, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chantal","family":"Akoua-Koffi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement, Universit\u00e9 Alassane Ouattara, Bouak\u00e9 BP 1174, Cote D\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Couacy-Hymann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire National D\u2019appui au D\u00e9veloppement Agricole\/Laboratoire Central de Pathologie Animale, Bingerville BP 206, Cote D\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Leendertz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology of Highly Pathogenic Microorganisms, Robert Koch Institute, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Calvignac-Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology of Highly Pathogenic Microorganisms, Robert Koch Institute, 13353 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Viral Evolution, Robert Koch Institute, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernhard","family":"Ehlers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division 12 Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Viruses Affecting Immunocompromised Patients, Robert Koch Institute, Seestrasse 10, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1143","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.126.8.1143","article-title":"AIDS and ophthalmology, 2008","volume":"126","author":"Jabs","year":"2008","journal-title":"Arch.
