It differs from the three known strains of human immunodeficiency virus and appears to be closely related to a form of simian virus recently discovered in wild gorillas, researchers report in Monday's edition of the journal Nature Medicine.The finding "highlights the continuing need to watch closely for the emergence for new HIV variants, particularly in western central Africa," said the researchers, led by Jean-Christophe Plantier of the University of Rouen, France.The most likely explanation for the new find is gorilla-to-human transmission". = http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...LNVBZQD99QSD7O0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
