It was a journey that went around the world and involved painstaking research to unravel how, when, and where the virus first infected humans.
Dorothy H. Crawford traces the story back to the remote rain forests of Africa - home to the primates that carry the ancestral virus - and reveals how HIV-1 first jumped from chimpanzees to humans in rural south east Cameroon. Examining how this happened, and how it then travelled back to Colonial west central Africa where it eventually exploded as a pandemic, she asks why and how it was able to spread so widely.
From hospital intensive care wards to research laboratories and the African rain forests, this is the wide-ranging story of a killer virus and a tale of scientific endeavour.Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Free Download Virus Hunt: The search for the origin of HIV/AIDs [Kindle Edition]

Although I did not read this in one night, I did read it with great pleasure - the quality of medical writing/journalism lately just keeps getting better and better, it seems. I was familiar with the subject before starting the book, but this is very compelling reading about the search for the origins of HIV...One element that helps this book to stand out from others is the author's note of compassion, both for the animals involved in the story and for the humans. (It was very sobering to read that chimpanzees will at some point become extinct, partly through our involvement - the destruction of habitats, etc.)Also, the author speaks very positively of her colleagues in the field and gives them a lot of verbal support - a nice touch.
