The experiments, led by Gary Kobinger of the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg, first tested combinations of Ebola antibodies made by his lab and Mapp Bio to find a cocktail that worked best in guinea pigs and then monkeys. Although the experiment used an older Ebola virus that differs from the strain now in West Africa, the researchers showed in a test-tube study that ZMapp also worked against the more recently isolated virus
Most of these cases occurred from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces; however, it is thought that a few cases of human-to-human spread of H5N1 have occurred. All of a sudden, in a grand gesture of distraction, his administration started emphasizing the danger, claiming that a pandemic in the immediate future is almost "certain." Just the ticket to get people to ignore your religiously deluded incompetence and righteous indifference to preventable human tragedies

STD Facts - Human papillomavirus (HPV)
HPV is so common that most sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.Health problems related to HPV include genital warts and cervical cancer.Genital warts: About 360,000 people in the United States get genital warts each year.Cervical cancer: More than 11,000 women in the United States get cervical cancer each year.There are other conditions and cancers caused by HPV that occur in persons living in the United States.I'm pregnant. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms.Anyone who is sexually active can get HPV, even if you have had sex with only one person
Next, he examines the three critiques that currently challenge this classic Darwinian edifice: that selection operates on multiple levels, from the gene to the group; that evolution proceeds by a variety of mechanisms, not just natural selection; and that causes operating at broader scales, including catastrophes, have figured prominently in the course of evolution. Its not just positive attributes that are studied either, there are chapters devo This is a fascinating book that looks at human evolution and searches for how it is similar to and how it differs from animal evolution
HIV, viral facts
The virus then enters a middle phase where it is dual tropic and its envelope protein gp120 can bind to the chemokine receptors CD4, CCR5, CXCR2, CXCR3, and, most especially, CXCR4; all of which are found on T helper cells. Furthermore, basophils and mast cells exhibit CCR3 which HIV can use as a coreceptor, enhancing the production of tat and improving viral replicability
The refusal of AIDS scientists to recognize cancer microbe research, published in peer reviewed scientific journals, is a further indication that the AIDS establishment seeks to control all aspects of HIV research in such a way as to never connect the origin of AIDS with previous cancer research and covert biological warfare research. These laboratory created viruses were capable of inducing disease when transferred between animal species and also when transplanted into human cells and tissue

Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me three days ago, My name is Jeffrey Dowling,i live in TEXAS,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain.

During this time, HIV infection may not show up on an HIV test, but people who have it are highly infectious and can spread the infection to others.However, you should not assume you have HIV if you have any of these symptoms. That means that once you have HIV, you have it for life.No safe and effective cure currently exists, but scientists are working hard to find one, and remain hopeful
Origins of HIV and the AIDS Pandemic
Given that SIVcpzPtt strains have been transmitted to gorillas and humans on at least five occasions, it is striking that evidence of similar transmissions from eastern chimpanzees is lacking. In HIV-1 infection, this immune activation is fueled, at least in part, by the inability of the Nef protein to down-modulate TCR-CD3, a function that is conserved in most nonpathogenic SIV infections (Schindler et al

Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Infection of Chimpanzees
For reasons that remain to be explained, it appears that chimpanzee peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are considerably less susceptible to SIVcpz (and HIV-1) infection in vitro than are human PBMCs (8, 57). For example, studies of several SIVcpz isolates indicate that, like HIV-1, they use CD4 and CCR5 as their main receptor and coreceptor for entry into target cells (10, 50, 58)

When he was diagnosed as being HIV positive in 1991 other NBA players did not want to play with him because they were afraid they were going to contract HIV by rubbing against him or exchanging sweat. Vertical transmission from mother to child (In-utero, during birth, and breast-feeding) It is very rare that a mother transmits HIV to her child while the child is in-utero because the mother and child have different blood sources
From the very beginning of the epidemic, researchers disclaimed any connection between AIDS and cancer, as well as any connection between HIV and animal retrovirus cancer research. Never mentioned by proponents of the chimp theory is the fact that the New York Blood Center established a chimp virus laboratory in West Africa in 1974

On the Fourth of July, the CDC reports that an unusual skin cancer -- Kaposi's sarcoma or KS -- is killing young, previously healthy men in New York City and California
In 1995 world total of 1 million reported cases of AIDS and estimated total of 18 million HIV+ adults and 1.5 million HIV+ children were reported and AIDS became the main cause of death in 25-44 age group in USA

October 1, 2009--In 1994 a research team led by Tim White of the University of California, Berkeley; Berhane Asfaw, former director of the National Museum of Ethiopia; and Giday WoldeGabriel of the Los Alamos National Laboratory announced the discovery of the first fossils of a new human ancestor, Ardipithecus ramidus. ramidus was quite apelike in appearance, researchers who studied the fossil skeleton suggest the species lacked the adaptations of living apes for climbing vertically, hanging from branches, and walking on its knuckles
How HIV Is Spread - TheBody.com
To this study we can add the evidence of the countless numbers of people who have had saliva contact with people with AIDS or others who have been infected with HIV. However, anyone handling blood, semen or vaginal fluids should be careful to avoid touching them with broken skin or getting them into mucous membranes (such as those around the eye)
Hooper says witnesses have told him that a few batches of those vaccines were "grown" in chimp cells at a lab in Kisangani, a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo -- and that the chimp cells, and thus the vaccines, could have contained SIVs that jumped into humans. But even if those samples are found someday, they won't necessarily yield definite answers about the virus' age, says Korber: "Often, you can't get anything out of samples like that." Most African samples are made of blood serum, and serum samples contain viral RNA, which degrades much faster than the DNA found in tissue samples
The earliest known case of infection with HIV-1 in a human was detected in a blood sample collected in 1959 from a man in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. (How he became infected is not known.) Genetic analysis of this blood sample suggested that HIV-1 may have stemmed from a single virus in the late 1940s or early 1950s
So, in order to find the source of AIDS, it is necessary to look for the origin of HIV, and find out how, when and where HIV first began to cause disease in humans.How?What type of virus is HIV?HIV is a lentivirus, and like all viruses of this type, it attacks the immune system. In areas such as French Equatorial Africa and the Belgian Congo, colonial rule was particularly harsh and many Africans were forced into labour camps where sanitation was poor, food was scarce and physical demands were extreme
