A new family tree for African green monkeys shows that an HIV-like virus, simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV, first infected those monkeys after the lineage split into four species. The new research reveals the split happened about 3 million years ago.

2025年3月8日 · Through education, regular testing, and open dialogue, Dr. Maya Green envisions a future where HIV no longer disproportionately affects Black communities.

2024年6月10日 · African Green (Vervet) monkeys have been extensively studied to understand the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Using vervet monkeys as pre-clinical models may be an attractive option for...

2007年7月16日 · Monkey viruses related to HIV may have swept across Africa more recently than previously thought, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson. A new family tree for African...

African green monkeys are able to live while being infected with the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) without ever developing AIDS. Their hint? Directly eliminate infected cells, without causing an inflammatory reaction that the virus could use to its advantage.

1987年12月1日 · Green monkeys and HTLV virus The green monkey was found to carry a virus (STLV-IIIAGM) closely related to the HTLV-111 virus, now generally held to be the AIDS agent'-8. Like most group-living primates, green monkeys are fairly promiscuous, and a sexually transmitted disease with a long incubation period could be easily maintained in their ...

2016年10月5日 · Previous studies suggested that simian immunodeficiency viruses isolated from African green monkeys (SIVagm) are relatively nonpathogenic. The report describes the isolation and biologic and molecular characterization of a pathogenic SIVagm strain derived from a naturally infected African green monkey.

2010年7月14日 · African green monkeys (left) and sooty mangabeys (right) are natural hosts of the HIV-like simian immunodeficiency virus, meaning that they never develop anything resembling AIDS.

2024年8月12日 · Our goals are to offer safe, effective, acceptable, and accessible tools that provide evidence-based HIV prevention choices throughout the period of reproductive potential; prevent vertical HIV transmission to infants; and enable infants born with HIV to experience long periods of HIV remission or complete HIV clearance.
