In this brief review, we will present the current available data on the discovery, cross-species transmission and molecular evolution of the simian foamy viruses (SFV) present in different human populations at risk for zoonotic emergence. They were mostly hunters who reported direct contacts with blood and/or body fluids from wild NHPs. We extended such studies into different areas and populations of this Central African country and found the presence of SFV infection in at least 50 persons [12 ] . Origin, evolution and innate immune control of simian foamy viruses in humans Rua and Gessain 51 Table 1 SFV tropism and viral load in the blood of SFV-infected humans and NHPs. The proportion of SFV DNA positive samples among leukocyte populations in SFV-infected NHP and SFVinfected humans is indicated. ./cache/cord-276039-nqqwnmwc.txt ./txt/cord-276039-nqqwnmwc.txt
