Abstract

With the rapid increase of AIDS cases in the United States and in Europe, and the recognition of high-risk groups other than active male homosexuals, it was realized in 1982 that an infectious agent could cause the disease. Several microbial factors, including retroviruses, were suspected to be the causative agent. In order to identify the AIDS-causing agent several different animal species, including chimpanzees, were inoculated with materials such as blood from AIDS patients. These animal experiments have not yielded any worthwhile result.
