AIDS people have transferred gorillas
The connection was discovered after researchers analyzed fecal samples collected in remote forests
The latest research indicates that people are AIDS transferred gorillas and chimps.
Two of the four well-known group of viruses that cause disease, are associated with monkeys with human DNA have 98 percent similarity.
It is known that the immune monkey virus SIV (which is equivalent to the human HIV) crossed with chimpanzees to humans, but has now been established that the gorillas and played a key role in the transmission, according to the Daily Mail.
The connection was discovered after researchers analyzed fecal samples collected in remote forests.
Then they discovered that HIV-1 group known as the "O" and "P" come from west lowland gorilla.
HIV-1 virus that causes AIDS infects people on four different occasions.
Other families of the "M" and "N" related to chimpanzees from southern Cameron.
Group "M" has caused a pandemic side - when it was infected over 40 million people worldwide.
Doktorai Martin Peters of the University of France said that this research might affect our understanding of disease and its risk to humans.
She also added that this research it became clear that the chimpanzees and gorillas can be potential causes of major pandemics.
Origin of HIV troubled scientists since 1984 when it was first established that causes AIDS.
The evidence they were soon sent to Africa and a similar virus that have chimpanzees, and most scientists believe that the virus jumped to humans when they hunted and killed the animals.
