When did pathogens cross the human-animal interface?
Adi S.
Microbial systems: AIDS which is caused by HIV, came to public notice in the 1980s. AIDS is characterized by opportunistic infections that are not normally seen in the general population. HIV is closely related to SIV. SIV does not present with an immunodeficiency diseases in chimpanzees. HIV is an example of a zoonotic pathogen that has adapted to spread from human to human. A pathogen that enters the body through being bitten by an infected animal. A pathogen that is endemic in wild wildfowl populations but frequently "jumps" to human populations A pathogen that has spread more frequently into human populations as homes are built in forested areas that are home to deer and mice. A pathogen that infected both birds and humans through a mosquito vector and was introduced to the U.S. in 1999
