متن کاملParallel evolution of CCR5-null phenotypes in humans and in a natural host of simian immunodeficiency virus
The C-C chemokine receptor CCR5 in humans and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) serves as the primary coreceptor for cellular entry by macrophagetropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and all reported strains of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) [1-6]. Humans homozygous for a 32 bp deletion allele of CCR5, resulting in a null phenotype, are highly resistant to infection ...
متن کاملAIDS as a zoonosis: scientific and public health implications.
Evidence of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection has been reported for 26 different species of African nonhuman primates. Two of these viruses, SIVcpz from chimpanzees and SIVsm from sooty mangabeys, are the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans. Together, they have been transmitted to humans on at least seven occasions. The implications of human infection by a d...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of simian T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 in wild and captive sooty mangabeys.
A study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence and diversity of simian T-cell lymphotropic virus (STLV) isolates within the long-established Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) colony of sooty mangabeys (SMs; Cercocebus atys). Serological analysis determined that 22 of 39 animals (56%) were positive for STLV type 1 (STLV-1). A second group of thirteen SM bush meat samples from Sie...
متن کاملStructured-tree topology and adaptive evolution of the simian immunodeficiency virus SIVsm envelope during serial passage in rhesus macaques according to likelihood mapping and quartet puzzling.
Species-specific strains of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) are nonpathogenic in African primates. The SIV strain most closely related to human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) is SIVsm, the strain specific to the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys). Infection of Asian primates with SIV causes AIDS and allows the study of the adaptive evolution of a lentivirus to replicate efficiently in ...
