Side shot of Montagnier STORYLINE: Three European scientists shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for separate discoveries of viruses that cause AIDS and cervical cancer, breakthroughs that helped doctors fight the deadly diseases. French researchers Francoise Barre-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier were cited for their discovery of human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, in 1983. They shared the award with Germany's Harald zur Hausen, who was honoured for finding human papilloma viruses that cause cervical cancer, the second most common cancer among women. Zur Hausen, a German medical doctor and scientist, received half of the 1.4 (m) million dollar prize, while the two French researchers shared the other half. Zur Hausen discovered two high-risk types of the HPV virus and made them available to the scientific community, ultimately leading to the development of vaccines protecting against infection. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine Gardasil in 2006 for the prevention of cervical cancer in girls and women ages 9 to 26. The vaccine works by protecting against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV - including the two that zur Hausen discovered - that cause most cases of cervical cancers. The HPV virus, transmitted by sexual contact, causes genital warts that sometimes develop into cancer. In its citation, the Nobel Assembly said Barre-Sinoussi and Montagnier's discovery was one prerequisite for understanding the biology of AIDS and its treatment with antiviral drugs. The pair's work in the early 1980s made it possible to study the virus closely. That in turn let scientists identify important details in how HIV replicates and how it interacts with the cells it infects, the citation said. It also led to ways to diagnose infected people and to screen blood for HIV, which has limited spread of the epidemic, and helped scientists develop anti-HIV drugs, the citation said. "The combination of prevention and treatment has substantially decreased spread of the disease and dramatically increased life expectancy among treated patients," the citation said. Barre-Sinoussi said that when she and Montagnier isolated the virus 25 years ago they naively hoped that they would be able to prevent the global AIDS epidemic that followed. The Nobel Assembly said zur Hausen "went against current dogma" when he found that some kinds of human papilloma virus, or HPV, caused cervical cancer. He realised that DNA of HPV could be detected in tumours, and uncovered a family of HPV types, only some of which cause cancer. The discovery led to an understanding of how HPV causes cancer and the development of vaccines against HPV infection, the citation said.

We also need to think about preventing the spread of the infection becoming AIDS. To have infected patients who perfectly control their infection and who do not evolve towards AIDS, that would already be a huge step. For this, we have elements to think that this could be possible." 9. Wide of Senegalese women dancing outside 10. Wide of conference 11. Mid of Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, sitting down 12.

Scientists, humanitarian organisations and members from various African communities affected by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are expected to attend the four day conference, focusing on Africa's response to the AIDS pandemic. The conference opened a day after giant puppets of US President-elect and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were paraded through the streets of Dakar to remind Western governments of financial commitments they've made to combat AIDS in Africa. Addressing delegates, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade said the code of silence on AIDS needs to be defeated, if there is any chance of stopping the HIV/AIDS pandemic. On Monday, ceremonies across the globe marked World AIDS Day. According to a United Nations report published in August, an estimated 33 (m) million people worldwide are infected with the HIV virus, the vast majority of them in Africa. Some 500-thousand children are born each year infected with HIV and 290-thousand of them died in 2007 as a result, according to the Global Fund.
