Findings from the field of evolutionary biology are yielding dramatic insights for health
scientists, especially those involved in the fight against infectious diseases. This book is the …

OUR understanding of the biology and origins of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-
2) derives from studies of cultured isolates from urban populations experiencing epidemic …

The virulence properties of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) are known to vary
significantly and to range from relative attenuation in certain individuals to high-level …

The genomes of the four primate lentiviral groups are complex and contain several
regulatory or accessory genes. Two of these genes, vpr and vpx, are found in various …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and simian immunodeficiency virus from
sooty mangabey (SIVSM) form one of the six primate lentivirus lineages. The close …

To investigate the glycoprotein determinants of viral cytopathology, we constructed chimeric
env genes between a noncytopathic strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) …

HIV-2 GH-1 is a molecular clone derived from an AIDS patient from Ghana. In contrast to the
prototypic molecular clone ROD, GH-1 exhibits a narrow range of target cell specificity. By …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) strains vary widely in their abilities to grow in
Old World monkey (OWM) cells such as those of cynomolgus monkeys (CM). We evaluated …

Seven new human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) isolates (CBL-20 to CBL-26) from
The Gambia were characterized. Their cytopathogenicity and growth in vitro correlated with …

We have molecularly cloned the complete genomic DNA of TM2 strain of feline
immunodeficiency virus (FIV) isolated in Japan and compared its nucleotide and the …
