What else can I help you with?
Where did HIV start in?
Some monkey in Afica got siv like hiv.
How come that the bonobo monkeys has a HIV?
Only humans can have HIV's Monkeys have SIV's.
What is the ID50 of HIV?
SIV studies have shown about 100 ID50 for HIV-2 and 1,000 for HIV-1.
Can SIV infect humans?
Yes, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) can infect humans, particularly through transmission from primates to humans. This cross-species transmission has been linked to the emergence of HIV, which is derived from SIV. Certain strains of SIV, specifically SIVcpz from chimpanzees and SIVsm from sooty mangabeys, are closely related to HIV-1 and HIV-2, respectively. While SIV itself is not typically a concern for human health, its related viruses have significant implications for human immunodeficiency.
Is HIV in monkeys the same as HIV in humans?
Although HIV is believed to have evolved from a similar virus in monkeys it is not the same in monkeys, this variant is known as SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus)
What is SIV in Cats?
SIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which is a virus that affects the immune system of cats. It is similar to HIV in humans and can lead to a weakened immune system, making the cat more susceptible to infections and other illnesses. There is no cure for SIV, but with proper care, infected cats can live long and relatively healthy lives.
Could HIV infect a monkey as it does humans?
Yes, HIV can infect monkeys, causing a similar disease known as Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). However, the specific strains of HIV that infect humans do not typically infect monkeys, and vice versa. Cross-species transmission events can occur in certain circumstances.
If the HIV virus affects humans which animal does SIV affect?
Simian Immunodefficiency Virus affects simians, or apes.
Which animal is HIV believe to be descended from?
Current research indicates the most likely source of HIV in humans was the mutation and subsequent propagation of a SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) in central Africa. It is thought SIV mutated into a proto-HIV several times over the early 1900s, but the infection died out in each time until it was transmitted to urban areas and then to the United States where it suddenly exploded into an epidemic.
What was HIV originally?
HIV is believed to be a mutated version of a virus that is naturally occurring in certain primate species (ex. monkey, chimpanzee). The virus in primates is called SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus).
What animal carried HIV?
In primates axist a virus that seems to be identic with HIV but it doesent infect the human celles.his name it is SIV
What is HIV is produced by?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) originates from SIV (Simina Immunodeficiency Virus) Its believed to have crossed over from primates to Humans perhaps via consumption (One would hope) in West Africa.
