The Nobel prize for medicine or physiology has been awarded to three people who discovered viruses that cause deadly diseases.
Germany’s Harald zur Hausen discovered the link between a common virus and cervical cancer.
Two French scientists have also been recognised for discovering the virus that causes AIDS.
Francoise Barre-Sinoussi works at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and Luc Montagnier is director of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention.
The three get a share in the prize of just over one million euros.
