new varian AIDS virus from gorilla
Sep/080
A woman from Cameroon found infected with the AIDS virus similar comes from gorilla, said the French scientists.
“Women, who do not experience symptoms of HIV infection, seen in good condition and contracting as if by others, and not animals,” said the researchers.
These shows, a new virus from the gorilla is now spread among humans, as reported by researchers in the journal Nature Medic health.
“We found the loss of immune (immune) women, the virus associated with the destructive immune from similar gorilla monkey, the virus does not show the combination with re genealogy other HIV-1 or with SIV from chimpanzee,” the researchers write, Jean-Christophe Plantier’s university Universite de Rouen, France.
Female 62 years old, and the diagnosis in 2004, soon after he moved to Paris from Cameroon. Nature of the virus that weakens the genetic routine, showing the virus is not the same as the AIDS virus samples and on the other end only after the comparison is found in the immune impairment gorilla monkey kind, in the year 2006.
AIDS infection has been estimated that 33 million people in the world and has killed 25 million people, is estimated to come from the chimpanzee. Scientists say the virus is spread to humans who hunt and sell meat chimpanzee, which is closest genetic relatives to humans.
“Our findings indicate that the gorilla, chimpanzee addition, possible sources of HIV-1 disease,” said team Plantier.
“The new family tree of HIV-1 we are warned to observe the emergence of new variants of HIV, particularly in the west of central Africa, which is the source of all types of HIV-1.”
Women who bear the status of the widow’s claim was never exposed to contact with the gorilla, but never intimate touch with some men, after her husband died.
When first infected with HIV, the victims usually have a fever and mild pain at the time also, but rarely know the disease is experienced by the sufferer. Usually the victims diagnosed some time later, after the virus had been harmful to the body’s immune system.
Up to now still have not found the medicine that can cure HIV, but the people with AIDS can consume drugs that can slow the reaction to the virus, as quoted from Reuters.
