a
All individuals lived in South Cameroon rainforest villages/settlements.
b
All individuals had been bitten by a gorilla during hunting activities and are infected with a gorilla SFV (3). Age at contact was assumed, based on interview.
c
Wound bite severity (based on interview and physical injury): 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high.
d
P corresponds to sampling for study of the general tropism of SFV in PBMCs, and M corresponds to sampling for study of the tropism of SFV in naive and memory cells.
e
Complete sequences of isolated viral strains from the indicated individuals are available in our previous study (14), and their GenBank accession numbers are provided.
