  人类免疫缺陷病毒(human immunodeficiency virus, HIV)的兄弟-猴免疫缺陷病毒(simian immunodeficiency virus, SIV)出现的时间,要比原先认为的几千年要早,可能有上万年的。由于SIV不会在猴子身上造成艾滋病,科学家原本假定HIV经过几个世纪也会毒性减弱,不过来看时间恐怕要更久。

  美国新奥尔良杜兰大学的病毒学家Preston Marx等人,从西非比奥科岛(Bioko Island)的一种狒狒的近亲Mandrillus leucophaeus身上取得SIV的样本。由于比奥科岛脱离了非洲大陆一万年了,因此那里的SIV和非洲大陆的SIV必定分家了一万年。 于是他们可以估算这一万年来的遗传变化速率,结果发现非洲SIV的遗传多样性,要经过3万2千到7万6千万年来演化出来。如果该估算是正确的,则意味着SIV要好几千年才演化出与宿主和平共处之道,因为HIV似乎不太可能在短时间之内和人类和平共处。

  如果SIV有上万年的历史,人类可能很早就接触到SIV而成为HIV。这百年来人类在非洲的开发,以及交通的便利才把HIV传播到人类社会而成为严重的公卫问题。
