Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of simian foamy virus (SFV) DNA from several species of Indonesian primates and an infected human. BP 2, 5, and 6 represent Sangeh monkey temple macaques (Macaca fascicularis). P 18, 19, 27, 32, 37, 66, 67, and 70 are pet macaques (M. tonkeana) from Sulawesi, Indonesia. P48, 49 and 72 are pet macaques (M. maura) from Sulawesi, Indonesia. P75 is a pet M. fascicularis macaque from Sulawesi, Indonesia. All Sulawesi pet primate samples were collected during 2000. SFV-1mac represents a published sequence from a rhesus macaque (M. mulatta), and SFV-3agm is a published sequence from an African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). SFVcpz is a published sequence from a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and was used an outgroup for this tree. The SFV human strain (BH66) clustered with an SFV sequence amplified from BP6 one of the macaques at the Sangeh monkey temple. The SFV DNA tree was created with the neighbor-joining method by using the PHYLIP program (DNAdist; Neighbor). Bootstrap replicates were 1,000. Bootstrap values were calculated by using Seqboot, DNAdist, Neighbor, and Consense (PHYLIP programs). Bootstrap values >60% are shown. The SFV tree was plotted in Treeview.
