  • Title: T-strain mycoplasma in the chimpanzee.
    Author: Brown WJ, Jacobs NF, Arum ES, Arko RJ.
    Journal: Lab Anim Sci; 1976 Feb; 26(1):81-3. PubMed ID: 1263431.
    Abstract:
    Specimens from 4 chimpanzees were cultured for T-strain mycoplasma and Mycoplasma hominis. T-strain mycoplasmas were recovered from the genital tract and throat of a male and the genital tract of his female cagemate; neither had clinical evidence of infection. Two other male chimpanzees were culturally negative for T-strain mycoplasmas. M hominis was not isolated from any of the animals. The chimpanzee may serve as a suitable experimental model for studying the role of T-strain mycoplasmas in human urethritis and reproductive failure.
