Distinct Evolutionary Pressures Underlie Diversity in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Lineages
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of rhesus macaques causes immune depletion and disease closely resembling human AIDS and is well recognized as the most relevant animal model for the human disease. Experimental investigations of viral pathogenesis and vaccine protection primarily involve a limited set of related viruses originating in sooty mangabeys (SIVsmm). The diversity of human immunodeficiency...
