摘要
The magnitude of the HIV pandemic and its extensive genetic variation may earn it a unique place among infectious agents. A high mutation rate and a rampant recombination are driving HIV's evolution. Nine subtypes and a variety of recombinant forms of HIV now exist. The source of recombinant forms is the multiple infection of target cells, which becomes highly significant when individuals become infected with two or more divergent strains. In the current paper, we re-examine the role of dual infection and recombination in the generation of HIV-1 diversity, both in individuals and on a global scale. The current molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 is reviewed, emphasizing the latest reports from regional epidemics. Copyright © 2005 by Current Science Inc.
