As with humans, AdV infections in animals can cause diseases that range from asymptomatic to fatal. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and diversity of AdVs in: (i) fecal samples of apes and monkeys from different African countries (Republic of Congo, Senegal, Djibouti and Algeria), (ii) stool of humans living near gorillas in the Republic of Congo, in order to explore the potential zoonotic risks. Samples were screened by real-time and standard PCRs, followed by the sequencing of the partial DNA polymerase gene in order to identify the AdV species. In the present study, we sought to investigate the presence and molecular diversity of AdVs in wild African NHPs, including great apes (gorillas and chimpanzees), macaques and other monkeys (baboons, green monkeys), living in close proximity to or outside human settlements. ./cache/cord-315164-nidgnvvi.txt ./txt/cord-315164-nidgnvvi.txt
