Two lentiviruses that infect sheep and goats have been shown to be closely related to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These ungulate lentiviruses cause a spectrum of diseases, including arthritis in their natural hosts. The molecular and cellular biology of these viruses as well as possible pathogenic mechanisms is compared to HIV-1 in order to identify common features and significant differences between the human and animals pathogens.
