Complete Genome Sequences of Three Novel Saimiri sciureus Papillomavirus Types Isolated from the Cervicovaginal Region of Squirrel Monkeys
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete genome sequences of three novel Saimiri sciureus papillomavirus (SscPV) types (SscPV1 to SscPV3) isolated from the cervicovaginal region of squirrel monkeys were characterized. These three PV types share 78.1 to 83.3% nucleotide sequence identities with each other across the complete L1 open reading frame and cluster in the genus Dyoomikronpapillomavirus.

Pleistocene diversification of living squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp.) inferred from complete mitochondrial genome sequences.
In order to enhance our understanding of the evolutionary history of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp.), we newly sequenced and analyzed data from seven complete mitochondrial genomes representing six squirrel monkey taxa. While previous studies have lent insights into the taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus, phylogenetic relationships and divergence date estimates among major squirrel monkey clad...
متن کاملRole of the squirrel monkey in parasitic disease research.
Much controversy exists regarding the species of the squirrel monkey. Napier and Napier (Whitney 1995) divide the squirrel monkeys into two species: Saimiri sciureus and Saimiri osterdii; the former is used in biomedical research. Hershkovitz prefers to use two groups of Saimiri based on facial characteristics and other factors, which include "Roman" and "Gothic" types. He suggests four species...
متن کاملMorphology and mitochondrial phylogenetics reveal that the Amazon River separates two eastern squirrel monkey species: Saimiri sciureus and S. collinsi.
Saimiri has a complicated taxonomic history, and there is continuing disagreement about the number of valid taxa. Despite these controversies, one point of consensus among morphologists has been that the eastern Amazonian populations of squirrel monkeys form a single terminal taxon, Saimiri sciureus sciureus (Linnaeus, 1758). This group is distributed to both the north and south of the middle t...
متن کاملInheritance of color vision in a New World monkey (Saimiri sciureus).
Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) have a striking color-vision polymorphism; each animal has one of six different types of color vision. These arise from individual variation in the presence of three different middle- to long-wavelength cone pigments. The distribution of cone phenotypes was established for a large sample of squirrel monkeys, including several families, through analysis of a r...
متن کاملAction at a distance: dependency sensitivity in a New World primate
Sensitivity to dependencies (correspondences between distant items) in sensory stimuli plays a crucial role in human music and language. Here, we show that squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) can detect abstract, non-adjacent dependencies in auditory stimuli. Monkeys discriminated between tone sequences containing a dependency and those lacking it, and generalized to previously unheard pitch cl...
