Abstract
The genomes of seven novel members of previously described DNA and RNA virus families are described here. These viruses were recovered using a viral metagenomic approach from the stool of a drill monkey (Mandrillus leucophaeus) housed in a sanctuary in Cross River State, Nigeria.

Zoonotic transmission of viruses between nonhuman primates (NHPs) and humans and its impact on the emergence and reemergence of viral pathogens have been well documented (1–3)
Three of the four RNA viruses are members of the Picornaviridae (Cosavirus, Enterovirus, and Sapelovirus), while the fourth is a member of the Dicistroviridae (Aparavirus)
