Although parasite–host co-speciation is a long-held hypothesis, convincing evidence for long-term co-speciation remains elusive, largely because of small numbers of hosts and parasites studied and uncertainty over rates of evolutionary change. Co-speciation is especially rare in RNA viruses, in which cross-species transfer is the dominant mode of evolution. Simian foamy viruses (SFVs) are ubiquitous, non-pathogenic retroviruses that infect all primates. Here we test the co-speciation hypothesis…

Wide distribution and ancient evolutionary history of simian foamy viruses in New World primates
- BiologyRetrovirology

A broad distribution and stable co-speciation history of SFV in NWMs at the species level is demonstrated and the trees of NWM hosts and SFVs have remarkably similar topologies at the level of species and sub-populations suggestive of co- Speciation.
Secondary contact between diverged host lineages entails ecological speciation in a European hantavirus
- BiologyPLoS biology
- 2019
It is demonstrated that incipient speciation in a natural host species has generated distinct ecological niches leading to adaptive isolation in an RNA virus, and Evolutionary relationships between TULV clades indicate an emergence of these viruses through rapid differential adaptation to the previously diverged host lineages that resulted in levels of ecological isolation exceeding the progress of speciating in their vertebrate hosts.

A Challenge to the Ancient Origin of SIVagm Based on African Green Monkey Mitochondrial Genomes
- BiologyPLoS pathogens

This study substantially weakens the theory of ancient SIV infection followed by codivergence with its primate hosts and demonstrates that the SIVagm topology can be explained by a pattern of west-to-east transmission of the virus across existing AGM geographic ranges.
