Similar impact of CD8+ T cell responses on early virus dynamics during SIV infections of rhesus macaques and sooty mangabeys.

Despite comparable levels of virus replication, simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV) infection is non-pathogenic in natural hosts, such as sooty mangabeys (SM), whereas it is pathogenic in non-natural hosts, such as rhesus macaques (RM). Comparative studies of pathogenic and non-pathogenic SIV infe...
