Inflammation the evolutionary solutions occurring in multiple monkey hosts (e.g. the sooty mangabey) infected with species-specific lentiviruses that have led to a lack of disease, no decline in CD4 T-cell counts, and no chronic inflammation.

Mechanisms that serve to terminate inflammation include: There is evidence for a link between inflammation and depression. Inflammatory processes can be triggered by negative cognitions or their
