a

Year of rescue of captive chimpanzees; year of SIVcpz detection in wild-living chimpanzees. N/A, not available.

b

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.

e

Determined by mitochondrial (mt)DNA analysis (7).

f

Test performed to diagnose SIVcpz infection. Ab, antibody; vRNA, virion RNA.

g

SIVcpz sequence information available; FL, full-length sequence; P, partial sequence(s).

h

Member of nonhabituated community with individual identification performed by mtDNA analysis (26, 30).

i

Total number of SIVcpz infected chimpanzees per number of chimpanzees screened in study in which the infected ape was identified.

j
