| [mechanisms of viral emergence and interspecies transmission: the exemple of simian foamy viruses in central africa]. | a large proportion of viral pathogens that have emerged during the last decades in humans are considered to have originated from various animal species. this is well exemplified by several recent epidemics such as those of nipah, severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian flu, ebola, monkeypox, and hantaviruses. after the initial interspecies transmission per se, the viruses can disseminate into the human population through various and distinct mechanisms. some of them are well characterized and u ... | 2013 | 26137812 |
| human t-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 gag indeterminate western blot patterns in central africa: relationship to plasmodium falciparum infection. | to gain insight on the significance of human t-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (htlv-1) indeterminate serological reactivities, we studied villagers of south cameroon, focusing on a frequent and specific htlv-1 gag indeterminate profile (hgip) pattern (gag p19, p26, p28, and p30 without p24 or env gp21 and gp46). among the 102 sera studied, 29 from all age groups had a stable hgip pattern over a period of 4 years. there was no epidemiological evidence for sexual or vertical transmission of hgip. ... | 2000 | 11060067 |
