Abstract A pol-fragment of simian immunodeficiency virus SIV that is highly related to SIVdrl-pol from drill monkeys Mandrillus leucophaeus was detected in two mandrills Mandrillus sphinx from Amsterdam Zoo. These captivity-born mandrills had never been in contact with drill monkeys and were unlikely to be hybrids. Their mitochondrial haplotype suggested that they descended from founder animals in Cameroon or northern Gabon close to the habitat of the drill. SIVdrl has once before been found in a wild-caught mandrill from the same region indicating that mandrills are naturally infected with a .
