Phylogenetic analysis of Adenoviruses. The evolutionary history, based on 250 bp of DNA PoL gene, was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. Adenoviruses obtained sequences here were different in each other and with those available in GenBank database. Sequences are identified as follows: accession number/virus/strain/host/country.A similarity rate of 92 to 98% was obtained when comparing the obtained sequences from bonobos in Lola to reference strain of Simian adenovirus 42.1 (FJ025903) within HAdV-C species isolated from the gut of bonobo from Jacksonville zoo, USA23. Adenovirus strain (Bonobo 86) detected in Ekolo was 93% identity with a Human adenovirus sp. isolate DT5 (MK241690) isolated in a human from China. This suggests a possible “jump” of human strain to bonobos. Other species (HAdV-B and HAdV-E) were detected Lola and/or Ekola bonobos. The differences in the composition bias among sequences were considered in evolutionary comparisons. The analysis involved 39 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 213 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA761.
