Reuters Examines Upcoming HIV Prevention Trial In Africa
Nature study published on Thursday overturns a “decade-old consensus that chimpanzees cannot fall ill as a result of infection with a virus similar to HIV,” Nature News reports. “The results suggest that it will not be possible to find the key to HIV immunity in the chimpanzee genome, as scientists had hoped,” writes Nature News, adding that it does set “the stage for researchers to gain insight into how HIV and SIV cause disease in their hosts by studying the responses of different primates to the viruses” (Hayden, 7/22).
IRIN Examines Aid, Climate Partnerships
IRIN examines new partnerships between aid agencies and meteorological services that aim to prevent and respond to disasters in West Africa. Maarten van Aalst, associate director of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent regional climate centre in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, said, “The question is not why meteorological services and humanitarian organizations are talking to each other today, but why they have not been talking for one-and-a-half centuries.” The article includes examples of collaboration and analyzes the barriers to partnership (7/22).
Malawi’s Daily Times Examines Obstetric Fistula
