I watched a video clip HIV'S origins in Africa where Dr. Beatrice Hahn discusses how HIV originated in Africa cross-species transmission from chimpanzees to humans. Dr. Beatrice spends her carrier to uncover the origins of the AIDS virus in Central Africa. Her team discovered that the viruss occured in Cameroon and was carried to Kinshase. The greatest diversity was identified in Kongo and over the Kongo River was carried to East Africa. In East Africa AIDS virus was first discovered as a syndrom. From there it was spread around the world.
Later on in this class we are going to study more about the AIDS pathogen and its virulence factors.
