Introduction 3. Discovery of SIVs in African non-human primate species: the path from the
discovery of the simian origin of HIVs to the characterization of the largest and most diverse …

Molecular evolutionary analyses strongly support the hypothesis that human
immunodeficiency viruses have recently arisen from a diverse pool of nonhuman primate …

To assess human exposure to Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in west central Africa,
we looked for SIV infection in 788 monkeys that were hunted in the rainforests of Cameroon …

In the present study, we describe a new simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), designated
SIVgsn, naturally infecting greater spot-nosed monkeys (Cercopithecus nictitans) in …

PCR's simplicity as a molecular technique is, in some ways, responsible for the huge
amount of innovation that surrounds it, as researchers continually think of new ways to …

Nearly complete sequences of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) infecting 18 different
nonhuman primate species in sub-Saharan Africa have now been reported; yet, our …

Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the current molecular prevalence of
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) …

Two novel simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) strains from wild-caught red-capped
mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus torquatus) from Nigeria were characterized. Sequence …

Exploration of the diversity among primate lentiviruses is necessary to elucidate the origins
and evolution of immunodeficiency viruses. During a serological survey in Cameroon, we …

We developed a simple, rapid, inexpensive, and highly sensitive and specific strategy for the
detection and lineage differentiation of primate lentiviruses (PIV-ELISA). It is based on the …
