Scientists have found two new possible AIDS treatments in the bark of trees from Argentina and Africa. According to Swiss researchers at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, an African tree has yielded an antifungal compound that could prevent mouth infections in AIDS patients. The compound, found in the bark and roots of the Bobgunnia madagascariensis tree, kills Candida
albicans and Aspergillis infections. Separately, researchers from the University of Panama reported that an extract from a tree in Argentina demonstrated marked anti-HIV activity and is now being developed in conjunction
with scientists in Spain.
