1Accidentally transmitted in captivity 2 Naturally occurring in the wild 3 GeneBank accession numbers of the full-length sequences. For HIVs, only some reference strains out of more than 150full-length genomic sequences available 4 NA-not available 5 Some full-length sequences are not yet released 6 For some SIVs, only partial genomic sequences are available. In those instances in which full-length sequences are available for a given virus, some partial sequences of interest are also listed in this column 7 Only serological evidence reported for these viruses 8 Although most reports suggest that SIVs are not pathogenic in their natural non-human primate hosts, cases of immunesuppression have been reported 9Not reported
