Summary
The scientists discovered the possible link between felines and HIV/AIDS when examining how the virus seizes and takes complete control of healthy cells, infects them and quickly replicates them. They ultimately discovered that a common gene in the virus has a connection from an ancient tiger that got infected. "It's a rare and unusual thing that the virus would actually pick up some of the machinery of the cell it infected," [Robert Bambara] noted.
A new study strongly suggests that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, may have actually originated from genetic material from an ancient tiger that lived hundreds of thousands of years ago, according to a recently released report by scientists at the University of Rochester in upstate New York.See the full content of this document
