Short summary
Lentiviral immunodeficiency viruses cause AIDS in humans and in non-human primates. Macaques are a suitable animal model to study infection, disease and the immune response against the retrovirus. As to prion disease, we established a rhesus monkey infection model for this unique infectious pathogen. Animals were experimentally infected with human and bovine prions. Unlike in human prion disease (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease), we observed early and late stages of disease.
