Year of rescue of captive chimpanzees; year of SIVcpz detection in wild-living chimpanzees. N/A, not available.
Estimated age (in years) of captive chimpanzees at the time of rescue; age of wild-living (habituated) chimpanzees at the first time point of SIVcpz detection.
M, male; F, female; N/A, not available; Ch-64, Ch-70, and Ch-71 were identified as females by genetic typing of fecal DNA (26).
Country of capture or home range of wild communities. DRC, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Determined by mitochondrial (mt)DNA analysis (7).
Test performed to diagnose SIVcpz infection. Ab, antibody; vRNA, virion RNA.
SIVcpz sequence information available; FL, full-length sequence; P, partial sequence(s).
Member of nonhabituated community with individual identification performed by mtDNA analysis (26, 30).
Total number of SIVcpz infected chimpanzees per number of chimpanzees screened in study in which the infected ape was identified.
An additional 32 P.t.vellerosus apes were also tested and found negative.
SIVcpz prevalence estimate for entire community (26).
