Document Summary
Anth 3470 05/04/16 lecture 11: stress, hierarchies, and health part 2. Most common cause of hiv among first nations is intravenous drug use. Hiv showed up within the last century, and crossed the species barrier from primates. More than 40 species of african non0human primates are naturally infected with simian immunodeficiency viruses (sivs) most common are mandrill, chimpanzee, sooty. Mangabey, african green monkey tend to be asymptomatic in contrast to hiv- infected humans these natural siv hosts typically do not develop aids, despite chronic infection with a highly replicating virus. Sooty mangabey (cercocebus atys) has sivsnm (directly responsible for hiv-2 subtype) bush meat trade. African green monkey (chlorocebus pygerythrus) has sivagm. Multiple cross species transmissions of siv from chimpanzees to humans during the preparation of bush meat, aided by the rise of urbanization in early 20th century africa, has resulted in the hiv-1 epidemic has sivcpz.
