HIV EVOLUTION
Santiago RiosMaster Proteòmica i Genòmica
HistoryHIV (the virus that causes AIDS) probably transfers to humans in Africa between 1884 and 1924.1970: African doctors see a rise in opportunistic infections and wasting .Western scientists and doctors remain ignorant of the growing epidemic.1981: AIDS is detected in California and New York (probably enters around 1970)1982: AIDS is reported among haemophiliacs and Haitians (probably enters around 1966) and in several European countries.The name AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is created.1983: Scientists identify HIV (initially called HTLV-III or LAV) as the cause of AIDS. Western scientists become aware that AIDS is widespread in parts of Africa.1985: AIDS is found in China, and has therefore been seen in all regions of the world.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Viruses)
Genus LentivirusHIV-1 (Groups M “Subtypes: A-K”, O, P and N)and HIV-2
Family Retrovirusesgag: Gag polyproteinpol: enzymes reverse transcriptase, integrase, and HIV proteaseenv: precursor to gp120 and gp41Transactivators: tat, rev, vprOther regulators: vif, nef, vpu

ORIGINS OF HIV
Sharp P.M. et al. 2011 Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med
Phylogeny of Pol sequences
Cross-species transmission.
The phylogenetic relationships of representative SIVcpz, HIV-1, and SIVgor
Hybrid origin of SIV
Phylogenies of primate lentivirus Pol and Env sequences
• SIVcpz discordance.• Clear breakpoint in SIVcpz between Pol and Env Differences.

Infection & Expantion Hypotesis
Hunter theoryOral polio vaccine theory use chimpanze
kidney cells. (Blancou P. et al, Polio vaccine samples not linked to AIDS, NATURE 2001)
The contaminated needle theory for hunter body (Wolfe N.D. et al, Naturally acquired simian retrovirus infections in central African hunters, Lancet. 2004)
The colonialism theoryThe conspiracy theory
Conclusions1. HIV is host-specific.2. HIVs are the result of multiple cross-species
transmissions of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) naturally infecting African primates.
3. The origin HIV pandemia is not clear.4. Other HIV types can occur by cross-species
transmissions.
