Genome characterization of a simian foamy virus from a human bitten by an African green monkey
We obtained the near-complete simian foamy virus (SFV) genome from an infected human bitten by an African green monkey (<i>Chlorocebus aethiops;</i> SFVcae_hu501). The genome is 13,062 nucleotides long with the classical SFV genome structure. Phylogenetically, SFVcae_hu501 clustered closely with SFV from <i>Ch. aethiops</i> (SFVagm_LK3).
