Abstract: Gradual depletion of CD4+ T cells is a typical characteristic of pathogenic SIV infection. Intriguingly, we find a spontaneous CD4+ T-cell homeostasis in northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina) during SIVmac239 infection. read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msad101
Abstract: Abstract HIV-1 is a highly host-specific retrovirus that infects humans but not most nonhuman primates. Thus, the lack of a suitable primate model that can be directly infected with HIV-1 hinders HIV-1/AIDS research. In the… read more here.

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), has become an unprecedented global health emergency. At present, SARS-CoV-2-infected nonhuman primates are considered the gold standard animal model for COVID-19… read more here.
