Aids is not only killing millions of people in Africa. There is growing concern it is also killing lions and driving the king of the jungle to the brink of extinction.
With scientists reporting a devastating collapse of the African lion population from 230,000 in 1980 to fewer than 20,000 now, the decline has traditionally been blamed on loss of natural habitat and hunting.
But advances in virology and ground-breaking field research suggest that large numbers of lions could be dying from Aids - acquired immune deficiency syndrome - because their immune system has been destroyed by lion lentivirus, the lion version of HIV.
Much of the research into lion Aids is being carried out in Botswana, the African country of just 1.7 million people which has the highest recorded rate of HIV infection in the world - 40 per cent in some towns.
To the layman, the Okavango Lion Conservation Project in Botswana suggests clear parallels between human and lion Aids.
