Abstract The black-and-gold howler monkey (Alouatta caraya) is widely distributed in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. Despite this wide distribution, it is locally threatened in some parts of its southern range by forest loss and fragmentation, and yellow fever outbreaks. We present 14 new localities of A. caraya occurrence in the Pampa biome of southern Brazil, extending its range southwards by approximately 100 km.

Abstract Objective: In this study, we investigated the occurrence of papillomavirus (PV) infection in non-human primates (NHP, Platyrrhine) of northeastern Argentina by using broad-spectrum PCR primers at the L1 gene. In addition, we conducted a phylogenetic and coalescence analysis of viral sequences to explore their evolutionary history and evaluate the co-speciation hypothesis in the context of primate evolution. Methods: We obtained samples of 57 individuals from wild and captive populations of Alouatta caraya, Sapajus nigritus and Sapajus cay. We assessed PV infection by PCR amplification with the CUT primer system and sequencing of 337 bp (112 amino acids) of the L1 protein. The viral sequences were analyzed by phylogenetic and Bayesian coalescence methods to estimate the age of the most common recent ancestor (tMCRA) with BEAST, v1.4.8 software. We evaluated viral/host tree congruence with TreeMap v3.0. Results: We identified two novel putative PV sequences of the genus Gamma- PV in Sapajus sp and Alouatta caraya (SPV1 and AcPV1, respectively). The tMRCA of SPV1 was estimated at 11,941,682 years before present (ybp) and that of AcPV1 at 46,638,071 ybp, both predating the coalescence times of their hosts: 6.4 million years (MYA) and 6.8 MYA, respectively. Based on the comparison of primate and viral phylogenies, we could not reject the null hypothesis that the PV tree is no more congruent with the host tree than a random tree would be (P>0.05). Thus, a model of virus-host coevolution was rejected. Conclusion: This study presents the first report of PV infection in Platyrrhine species from Argentina, expands the range of described hosts for these viruses, and proposes new scenarios for their origin and dispersal.
