Jean-Claude Chermann
Jean-Claude Chermann is a French virologist who played a major role in the research team which, by 1983, headed by Luc Montagnier, had discovered the causative virus.[clarification needed][1] It was named lymphadenopathy-associated virus, or LAV. A year later, a team led by Robert Gallo of the United States confirmed the discovery of the virus, but renamed it human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III).[2]
