Table 1.
For each non-human primate (NHP) superfamily, the approximate number of extant NHP species is compared to the NHP species with PV sequences, including both partial sequences and complete genomes, available in NCBI. Additionally, the number of complete PV genomes available in NCBI for each primate superfamily is displayed. The data, obtained from NCBI Virus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/virus/vssi/ (accessed on 18 November 2023)), emphasizes the scarcity of PV data across speciose NHP lineages. The six PV genomes available for lemurs include the three genomes characterized previously and the three genomes described in this study.
