Detection and Genetic Characterization of Enteroviruses Circulating among Wild Populations of Chimpanzees in Cameroon: Relationship with Human and Simian Enteroviruses

Abstract: Enteroviruses (EVs), members of the family Picornaviridae, are a genetically and antigenically diverse range of viruses causing acute infections in humans and several Old World monkey (OWM) species. Despite their known wide distribution in primates, nothing is currently known about the occurrence, frequency, and genetic diversity of enteroviruses infecting apes. To investigate this, 27 chimpanzee and 27 gorilla fecal samples collected from undisturbed jungle areas with minimal human contact in Cameroon were sc… Show more

“…From these fecal samples, four EV types (EV76, EV89, and EV119 in species A; EV111 and EV120 in species D) and a novel species B variant (EV110) were identified (16,17). However, as previously discussed (17), whether these represent endogenous infections in these species or have been acquired from contact with humans or monkeys remains unclear; remaining wild-living chimpanzee and gorilla populations are small and highly fragmented. The overall detection frequencies were however moderate (9 to 11%), and the populations sampled had minimal contact with human populations in sample collection areas.…”

“…Finally, several mandrill-derived variants could be classified as members of the simian subgroup of species B, one corresponding to SA5 and the other to EV110, previously identified in chimpanzees from the same geographical area as the mandrill samples (Lomie [LM] in Fig. 1) (17).…”

“…For many communal species with stable home ranges or roosting behaviors (including some bat species), feces are typically abundant, easy to spot, and, depending on location (not deep inside abandoned mines or caves), require no significant training to collect. Such collection techniques have already been employed for monitoring endangered (e.g., gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla ) (Etienne et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2010)) or elusive wildlife (e.g., chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) (Harvala et al., 2011; Makuwa et al., 2005) and bats (Walker et al., 2016)), largely alleviating technical and logistic challenges in obtaining samples from free‐ranging populations (Stallknecht, 2007). …”

“…Recombination within the 5' UTR and the non-structural coding regions was also found among EV-A and EV-B members (within the same species) [129;134]. The frequency of recombination differs between EV species, being higher in EV-B species than in EV-A species [8] and very low in EV-D species [135,136].…”
