Abstract
HIV‐1 evolved from SIV during cross‐species transmission events, though viral genetic changes are not well understood. Here, we studied the evolution of SIVcpzLB715 into HIV‐1 Group M using humanized mice. High viral loads, rapid CD4+ T‐cell decline, and non‐synonymous substitutions were identified throughout the viral genome suggesting viral adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
