Tracing the origin of AIDS France, the United States and British experts recently wrote in the magazine "Science". DNA tests show that the African monkey virus may be found serious diseases such "teachings." At present, experts have found that the two were entering the independence of African chimpanzee simian virus can develop into the body after HIV then transmitted to human beings. Allow the human immune system how to treat such diseases has become a global problem ruined. However, the vaccine still has not developed reliable.

The article points out that African chimpanzees prey like monkeys "to improve life." and to take "collective chased and ambushes carried out halfway," the task monkey. Satisfied with the capture of prey, many chimps will often spot monkeys eat shredded. This monkeys virus to enter the blood through the body chimpanzees opened the door. Subsequently, all these monkeys in the parasitic virus constantly mutates, can be transmitted to human body, ultimately form a serious hazard to public health of HIV. Currently, in the end is how the human body from the chimpanzee "obtained" the deadly virus is still a mystery. Last year French researchers noted that monkeys with a virus can be directly transmitted to human beings.

Experts believe that likely before 1930 at the earliest mankind from the animals was infected with the HIV virus "ancestors" and until several decades after known by the general public. In addition, monkeys or other animals who may still terrible "virus ancestors." Once these things eventually entered the body, which may lead to a new outbreak of infectious diseases. Therefore, they are in favor of human beings should not be excessive "close to wild animals." However, the study also somewhat relieved about the world. it is in primates, animals will be under natural conditions of life do not show "healthy virus carriers." If opened a direct cause of this curious phenomenon, perhaps to find an effective therapy tackle AIDS.
