Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Animal models are crucial for understanding acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) research. Studies highlight the use of great apes, monkeys, ungulates, and cats infected with lentiviruses to model human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections.

  • Virology

Background:

  • Animal models are essential for advancing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) research.
  • Understanding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-induced diseases requires relevant animal models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe various animal models used in AIDS research.
  • To emphasize aspects of these animal models relevant to human HIV infections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of lentivirus infections in great apes, Asian monkeys, ungulates, and cats.
  • Description of disease pathogenesis in these animal models.

Main Results:

  • Great apes infected with HIV serve as a key model.
