siv
Species of the
genus lentivirus,
subgenus primate immunodeficiency viruses (immunodeficiency viruses, primate), that
induces acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in monkeys and
apes (saids). The
genetic organization of siv is virtually
identical to
HIV. Siv is 50%
homologous in
nucleotide sequence to
HIV-1. Siv and
HIV-2 exhibit close
structural and
immunologic properties and are 75% homologous. Siv does not
cause immune deficiency in its
natural host, the
african green monkey, but does
produce saids in the
rhesus macaque.
Subgroups of siv include siv-1 and siv-2.
