Metabolic reprogramming by caloric restriction enhances acute phase virological control and reduces chronic inflammation in SIV-infected rhesus macaques

Naveen Suresh Babu, Chrysostomos Perdios, Maggie Hallmets…·Joseph C. Mudd

This study shows that caloric restriction in SIV-infected rhesus macaques reduces acute viremia, dampens inflammation, and improves metabolic function, but does not affect viral persistence.

The Impact of SIV-Induced Immunodeficiency on Clinical Manifestation, Immune Response, and Viral Dynamics in SARS-CoV-2 Coinfection

Alexandra Melton, Lori A. Rowe, Toni Penney…·Nicholas J. Maness

This study examines how SIV-induced immunodeficiency affects SARS-CoV-2 infection in macaques, finding that while immune responses are impaired, viral kinetics and evolution remain unchanged.
