    <p>Chimpanzee fecal samples were tested for HIV/SIV specific antibodies using an enhanced chemiluminescent Western blot approach and HIV-1 antigen containing strips. Samples from individuals (Ch-2 and Ch-5; <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058965#pone-0058965-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>) reacted with envelope, integrase and/or core proteins, indicating SIVcpz infection. Molecular weights of HIV-1 specific proteins are indicated. The banding pattern of plasma from an HIV-1 infected patient (pos at a 1∶10,000 dilution) and an uninfected human control (neg) are shown.</p

    <p>The predicted distribution of suitable chimpanzee nesting habitat was developed using the Mahalanobis distance model <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058965#pone.0058965-Pintea3" target="_blank">[50]</a>, updated with 2007–2012 nest data and 2007 vegetation cover from Landsat TM satellite imagery (green). A red cross indicates the location of the crossing point over the Malagarasi River (blue).</p

    <p>The location of the crossing point (red cross) is shown in relation to forest (dark green), woodland (brown) and water (blue). The chimpanzee distribution model is shown in light green, with land cover classes extracted from 2007 Landsat TM satellite image and draped over a digital elevation map (shaded relief from 90-m SRTM - Shuttle Radar Topography Mission – data). Yellow triangles depict the location of chimpanzee fecal samples.</p
