The evolution of HIV-1 and the origin of AIDS.
The major cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We have been using evolutionary comparisons to trace (i) the origin(s) of HIV-1 and (ii) the origin(s) of AIDS. The closest relatives of HIV-1 are simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) infecting wild-living chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla...
متن کاملChimpanzees Inoculated with Cytomegalovirus Contaminated Polio Vaccines may Explain
The genomic sequences of HIV-1 isolates are closely related to the sequences of simian immunodeficiency viruses of chimpanzees SIV (cpz) [1]. It is widely presumed, therefore, that a SIV (cpz)-derived virus can evolve into HIV. The time at which humans initially became infected with SIV (cpz) or with a SIV (cpz)-derived virus is less certain. Yet this is clearly relevant to the likely mode of v...
متن کاملNew Strain of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Identified in Wild-Born Chimpanzees from Central Africa
Studies of primate lentiviruses continue to provide information about the evolution of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) and the origin and emergence of HIV since chimpanzees in west-central Africa (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) were recognized as the reservoir of SIVcpzPtt viruses, which have been related phylogenetically to HIV-1. Using in-house peptide ELISAs to study SIV prevalence, we ...
متن کاملThe Role of the Antiviral APOBEC3 Gene Family in Protecting Chimpanzees against Lentiviruses from Monkeys
Cross-species transmissions of viruses from animals to humans are at the origin of major human pathogenic viruses. While the role of ecological and epidemiological factors in the emergence of new pathogens is well documented, the importance of host factors is often unknown. Chimpanzees are the closest relatives of humans and the animal reservoir at the origin of the human AIDS pandemic. However...
متن کاملSpecies-specific vulnerability of RanBP2 shaped the evolution of SIV as it transmitted in African apes
HIV-1 arose as the result of spillover of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) from great apes in Africa, namely from chimpanzees and gorillas. Chimpanzees and gorillas were, themselves, infected with SIV after virus spillover from African monkeys. During spillover events, SIV is thought to require adaptation to the new host species. The host barriers that drive viral adaptation have predomin...
