The genome of a squirrel-sized, saucer-eyed lemur from Madagascar may help scientists understand how HIV-like viruses coevolved with primates, according to new research from Stanford University. The discovery could provide insight into why non-human primates don’t get AIDS and lead to treatments for humans. Scientists have long believed that lentiviruses, the family of viruses that includes HIV, started infecting primates within the past million years. (source: med.stanford.edu)
