title: [Immunodeficiency viruses and nonhuman primate models of AIDS].
abstract: Monkeys as the phylogenetically closed animals to human beings are widely used for simulating many human diseases. Moreover, nonhuman primate models of AIDS take a special place and vaccine testing without their participation is simply inconceivable. The article reviews the data available in the literature on immunodeficiency viruses and the basic nonhuman models of AIDS.
