متن کاملEpidemiologic and evolutionary relationships between Romanian and Brazilian HIV-subtype F strains.
The initial classification of HIV-1 viruses as Western or African strains has been replaced by phylogenetic subtyping that uses nucleotide sequence data. Eight distinct phylogenetic HIV-1 lineages or subtypes, A to H, have been defined (1). Considering that the rate of HIV-1 genome evolution is estimated at 0.5% to 1% per year and that the average genetic distance between the HIV-1 subtypes is ...
متن کاملGenetically related human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in three adults of a family with no identified risk factor for intrafamilial transmission.
A small number of cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been reported in individuals with no identified risk factors for transmission. We report on the seroconversion of the 61-year-old mother and the subsequent finding of HIV seropositivity in the 66-year-old father of a 31-year-old AIDS patient. Extensive investigation failed to identify any risk factor for intrafamilial ...
متن کاملDrug Resistance Profile and Subtyping of HIV-1 RT Gene in Iranian Patients under Treatment
Identification of drug resistant mutations is important in the management of HIV-1 infected patients. The aim of the current study was to evaluate drug resistance profile of RT gene and assess subtype among HIV-1 circulating strains and intensification of physician’s options for the best therapy. HIV-1 RNA of 25 sampleswas extracted from plasma and RT Nested- PCR was performed and the fin...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 recombinant B/G subtypes circulating in Coimbra, Portugal.
An increasing prevalence of HIV-1 non-B variants is being noticed in several European regions, particularly in countries such as Portugal, which have closer contacts with African endemic areas, where multiple HIV subtypes cocirculate. HIV-1 subtyping by phylogenetic analyses of reverse transcriptase, protease and env (C2-V3) genomic regions was carried out in plasma collected from 18 HIV-1-infe...
