Robert W. Ryder,W. Nsa,Susan E. Hassig,Frieda Behets,Mark A. Rayfield,Bayende Ekungola,Ann Marie Nelson,Utshudi Mulenda,Henry Francis,Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Farzin Davachi,Martha F. Rogers,Nzila Nzilambi,Alan E. Greenberg,Jonathan M. Mann,Thomas C. Quinn,Peter Piot,James Curran +17 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mortality rates among children of seropositive mothers are high regardless of socioeconomic status, and that perinatal transmission of HIV-1 has a major adverse effect on infant survival in Kinshasa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented Degree of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Group M Genetic Diversity in the Democratic Republic of Congo Suggests that the HIV-1 Pandemic Originated in Central Africa
Nicole Vidal,Martine Peeters,Claire Mulanga-Kabeya,Nzila Nzilambi,David Robertson,Wantabala Ilunga,Hurogo Sema,Kazadi Tshimanga,Beni Bongo,Eric Delaporte +9 more
TL;DR: The high number of HIV-1 subtypes cocirculating, the high intrasubtype diversity, and the high numbers of possible recombinant viruses as well as different unclassified strains are all in agreement with an old and mature epidemic in the DRC, suggesting that this region is the epicenter of HIV -1 group M.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Prevalence of Infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus over a 10-Year Period in Rural Zaire
Nzila Nzilambi,K M De Cock,Donald N. Forthal,Henry Francis,Robert W. Ryder,I. Malebe,JaneP. Getchell,Marie Laga,Peter Piot,Joseph B. McCormick +9 more
TL;DR: It is believed that the long-term stability of HIV infection in residents of rural Zaire suggests that social change may have promoted the spread of AIDS in Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-full-length genome sequencing of divergent African HIV type 1 subtype F viruses leads to the identification of a new HIV type 1 subtype designated K.
Karine Triques,Anke Bourgeois,Nicole Vidal,Eitel Mpoudi-Ngole,Claire Mulanga-Kabeya,Nzila Nzilambi,Ndongo Torimiro,Eric Saman,Eric Delaporte,Martine Peeters +9 more
TL;DR: The equidistance of subtype K to the other subtypes of HIV-1 suggests that this subtype existed as long as the others, the lower distance between B and D, and between F1 and F2 suggest a more recent subdivision for these latter strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV infection and associated risk factors in female prostitutes in Kinshasa, Zaire.
Jonathan M. Mann,Nzila Nzilambi,Peter Piot,Ngaly Bosenge,Mpunga Kalala,Henry Francis,Robert Colebunders,Pangu Kasa Azila,James Curran,T C Quinn +9 more
TL;DR: The data confirm that African prostitutes are at high risk for HIV infection and that the number of lifetime sexual partners, and factors which interfere with the integrity of the vaginal or cervical mucosa, may be associated with an increased risk of HIV infection acquired through heterosexual contact.
