*STLVs, simian T-lymphotropic viruses; PTLVs, primate T-lymphotropic viruses. Boldface indicates intersubgroup identities; shading indicates intrasubgroup identities. Nonhuman primates are coded as follows: the first letter of the genus is followed by the first 2 letters of the species name: Cmo, Cercopithecus mona; Cni, C. nictitans; Cto, Cerococebus torquatus; Ppa, Papio papio; Ph, Papio hamadryas; Tge, Teropithecus gelada. The last 2 letters in the code indicate the study site: AB, Abat; ND, Ndikinimeki.
†Partial tax sequence (1015 bp).
‡Partial tax sequence (219 bp).
§Partial tax sequence (170 bp).
¶Partial tax sequence (202 bp).
