  • Title: [Origin and evolution of human immunodeficiency viruses].
    Author: Marian CV.
    Journal: Bacteriol Virusol Parazitol Epidemiol; 2009; 54(4):167-76. PubMed ID: 20923120.
    Abstract:
    After the diagnosis of the AIDS symptoms, in 1981, and after the discovery of the virus that causes AIDS, in 1983, the virologists have formulated different theories about its origin. Some of them involved natural causes, e.g., HIV origin from SIV strains. Other theories go further to the possibility of a deadly man-made virus escaped from laboratories or voluntary spread by some conspirative organisations. At this moment, the scientists limits themselves to search proofs to sustain the zoonotic origin of HIV from SIV and its accomodation to human body conditions.
