Neuropathogenesis of simian immunodeficiency virus infection in macaque monkeys.
Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) develop immunologic dysfunction and multiorgan inflammatory diseases directly associated with HIV-1 infection. Of these inflammatory diseases, the most devastating to the HIV-infected patient is involvement of the central nervous system (CNS). The pathogenesis of the clinical syndrome observed in these patients, termed HIV-associated dem...
متن کاملUnraveling the pathogenesis of HIV peripheral neuropathy: insights from a simian immunodeficiency virus macaque model.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the most frequent neurologic complication in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It affects over one third of infected patients, including those receiving effective combination antiretroviral therapy. The pathogenesis of HIV-associated peripheral neuropathy (HIV-PN) remains poorly understood. Clinical studies are complicated because both H...
متن کاملElectrostatic Potential of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 and Rhesus Macaque Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Capsid Proteins
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and simian immunodeficiency virus isolated from a macaque monkey (SIVmac) are assumed to have originated from simian immunodeficiency virus isolated from sooty mangabey (SIVsm). Despite their close similarity in genome structure, HIV-2 and SIVmac show different sensitivities to TRIM5α, a host restriction factor against retroviruses. The replication of...
متن کاملDivergent HIV and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Surveillance, Zaire
Recent HIV infection or divergent HIV or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) strains may be responsible for Western blot-indeterminate results on 70 serum samples from Zairian hospital employees that were reactive in an enzyme immunoassay. Using universal polymerase chain reaction HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV primers, we detected 1 (1.4%) HIV-1 sequence. Except for 1 sample, no molecular evidence for ...
متن کاملNovel Multiplexed HIV/Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Antibody Detection Assay
Like most emerging infectious disease viruses, HIV is also of zoonotic origin. To assess the risk for cross-species transmission of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) from nonhuman primates to humans in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we collected 330 samples derived from nonhuman primate bushmeat at 3 remote forest sites. SIV prevalences were estimated by using a novel high-throughput as...
