In vivo Infection Dynamics and Human Adaptive Changes of SIVsm-Derived Viral Siblings SIVmac239, SIVB670, and SIVhu in Humanized Mice as a Paralog of HIV-2 Genesis

Simian immunodeficiency virus native to sooty mangabeys (SIVsm) is believed to have given rise to HIV-2 through cross-species transmission and evolution in the human. SIVmac239 and SIVB670, pathogenic to macaques, and SIVhu, isolated from an accidental human infection, also have origins in SIVsm. Wi...
