SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

A new human immunodeficiency virus derived from gorillas

Nature Medicine, Volume 15, No. 8, Year 2009

We have identified a new human immunodeficiency virus in a Cameroonian woman. It is closely related to gorilla simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVgor) and shows no evidence of recombination with other HIV-1 lineages. This new virus seems to be the prototype of a new HIV-1 lineage that is distinct from HIV-1 groups M, N and O. We propose to designate it HIV-1 group P.
