Aids researcher issues Odd Chance warning new Orleans up an aids researcher warned Friday against keep ing african monkeys As pets because of the slim Chance they May transmit an aids like virus to humans. Vanessa Hirsch. A researcher with the National institutes of health said Al though unlikely an Odd Chance exist that mutant strains of the Simian immunodeficiency virus Siv could Cross from monkeys to humans. Scientists have previously theorized that Siv. Common in the sooty Man Gaby Monkey of West Africa May have been the origin of one Strain of the human aids virus called human immunodeficiency virus-2 or hiv-2. The two viruses share about 75 per cent of their genetic makeup. Evidence indicates Siv May have passed to humans about 30 to 40 years ago in West Africa where people often cat Soltyman Gaweys or keep the monkeys As pets. But at a meeting of the american association for the advancement of Sci ence. Hirsch said such Cross species transmission May be possible even now. I m not sure How great the risk is. I would not want to keep one As a pet. I would not want to be bitten by one and they do bite Hirsch told a news conference. Hirsch said there have been no documented cases of Siv strains infecting humans but the Issue really has not been studied. Siv grows fairly Well in human cells in a test lube she said although that does t necessarily say it will grow in sooty Manga Beys infected with Siv do not appear to gel sick. But humans infected with hiv-2, a Strain common in West Africa and rare in the United states develop aids. In any event Hirsch said it was very dangerous to own any african primate Monkey or Chimpanzee that danger stems not Only from the outside Chance of contracting aids but from other potentially fatal viruses carried by the Ani Mals she said. Imports of most african monkeys into the United slates Are illegal because of concerns about their endangered status. But Hirsch said Many people living in West Africa continue to keep sooty Man Gavcys charcoal Gray animals weighing up to 12 pounds As Pels.

The most common aids virus in the u.s., and an immune deficiency virus found in a Chimpanzee. That work by Simon Wayne Hobson of France s Pasteur Institute involved an aids like virus isolated from a pet Chimpanzee Hirsch said. In related work Louis Martin of the Delta regional primate research Center in Covington. La., said his group is Start ing to test Anli aids drugs in asian monkeys which in contrast to african monkeys develop an aids like illness when infected with Siv. Preliminary findings indicate at the Only government approved aids drug docs have effects on monkeys recently infected with Siv. Martin did not release More details but added that like in humans at has the negative Side effect of producing anaemia in monkeys. Sheriff seizes armory in mass for use As a Springfield. Mass.
