Tóm tắt

Significance Understanding emerging disease origins is important to gauge future human infection risks. This is particularly true for the various forms of the AIDS virus, HIV-1, which were transmitted to humans on four independent occasions. Previous studies identified chimpanzees in southern Cameroon as the source of the pandemic M group, as well as the geographically more restricted N group. Here, we show that the remaining two groups also emerged in southern Cameroon but had their origins in western lowland gorillas. Although group P has only been detected in two individuals, group O has spread extensively throughout west central Africa. Thus, both chimpanzees and gorillas harbor viruses that are capable of crossing the species barrier to humans and causing major disease outbreaks.
