China, US to jointly build animal AIDS pathological model

Zoologists from both United States and China will hopefully join efforts to build an animal AIDS pathological model, according to a news report released on October 24.

More than 150 zoologists from both the US National Institutes of Health and the Animal Research Center of prestigious Wuhan University in China are expected to jointly explore into how to build an animal AIDS pathological model.

Sun Lihua, director of the Animal Research Center of Wuhan University, said his center has primarily set up a "macaque infectious model with an immunodeficiency virus" after years of researches. But further practice is still required to be testified whether the model will succeed or not, said Sun.
