Another retrovirus from monkeys to man
2004/05/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria
The retrovirus SFV has managed to jump the man.
At the moment it does not produce any disease or passes from one human being to another, but it will have to be followed closely. In fact, two similar to this retrovirus have caused serious diseases, among which is the immunodeficiency virus of monkeys, which was the history of HIV.
It was known that in special cases the SFV could pass to the human being, as in animal research centers or zoos. However, so far, it was not considered that it could occur in the natural environment. But in the hunting villages of Cameroon, clues of this leap have been found.
