Genetic Research Reveals The Origin On Hiv
About Zoonotic Diseases Zoonotic diseases—those that jump from animals to humans—are not uncommon phenomena, with increasing genetic evidence suggesting that even measles, smallpox, and diphtheria may be a result of cross-species infection. Salmonellosis, a bacterial infection that can progress to an AIDS-defining condition, is a prime example, most often the result of ingesting contaminated meat, eggs, or dairy products.
