Placed in Cercopithecus by many authors, Chlorocebus aethiops is referred here to a separate genus, in accordance with Wilson & Reeder.
This species has often been involved in taxonomic debates, which have split it into as many as four species and 21 subspecies.
It is only when we consider subspecies that it would be less confusing if all these illustrations were given trinomial names.

 HIV Databases Review Article
Within the primate evolutionary tree, apes such as humans and chimpanzees are highly divergent from the Old World monkeys, which include all the other species from which primate lentiviruses have been isolated.
Among feral primates that are known to be infected with SIV the African green monkeys are the most numerous, most geographically dispersed, and the most commonly infected [1, 2, 33, 38, 58, 60].
African green monkeys are dispersed over most of sub-Saharan Africa and have been classified as a separate genus (Chlorocebus) which is comprised of four species [52]: grivet (Chlorocebus aethiops), vervet (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), tantalus (Chlorocebus tantalus), and sabaeus (Chlorocebus sabaeus).

Overview: African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) were brought to the island of St Kitts during the 18th century and are now considered an evolutionarily separate subspecies from their African ancestors.
Overview: Crop-raiding by green vervets causes physical damage to farmland and economic impact due to problems of loss of crops.
Vervets are habitat generalist and the success of the introduced population, which is currently estimated at about 30 000 — 40 000 animals, attests to their adaptive potential.
