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.

  • GENOME SEQUENCES crossmGenome Sequences of Novel Members of Previously Described DNA and RNA Virus Families, Isolated from Feces of a Drill Monkey in 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)
