Comments. 1  Can you please tell me why the Brussels sprouts I grew last year did not get very high and the fruit was poor. 2  My brussel sprouts leaves are dieing but the stalk has lots of sprouts does this cause poor development of sprouts. 3  I had great plants with no sprouts. 4  I have very small pea sized sprouts on my plants .
diseases similar to HIV. ...The HTLV-I virus and HIV are transmitted the same way, and infect the same cells of the body. However HTLV-I does not cause AIDS ! Instead, HTLV-I causes a rare form of leukemia and also causes specific types of neurological problems.
HIV mutates very readily resulting in the formation of many different strains of HIV, even within the body of a single infected person. Based on genetic similarities, the numerous virus strains may be classified into types, groups and subtypes. There are two types of HIV: HIV-1 and HIV-2: Both types are transmitted by sexual contact, through blood, and from mother to child, and they appear to cause clinically indistinguishable AIDS. HIV-1 is related to viruses found in chimpanzees and gorillas living in western Africa, while HIV-2 viruses are related to viruses found in sooty mangabeys.
