摘要背景：人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)和获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)的流行是对母婴健康的全球性威胁，尤其是在发展中国家。据估计，每年有80万儿童感染艾滋病，58万儿童死于与艾滋病有关的疾病。分子流行病学已经成为分析HIV来源和追踪全球HIV传播过程的有用工具。本文概述了世界各地在艾滋病毒分子流行病学领域的最新进展，并讨论了其生物学意义。
Abstract Background : Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic is a global threat to maternal and child health, especially in developing countries. It is estimated that 800 000 children are infected and 580 000 children die of AIDS‐related illnesses every year. Molecular epidemiology has been a useful tool in analyzing the origin of HIV and tracking the course of global HIV spread. This article provides an overview of recent advances in the field of molecular epidemiology of HIV across the world, and discuss the biological implications.
