Title: Seroprevalence of B virus (Herpesvirus simiae) antibodies in a naturally formed group of rhesus macaques. Author: Kessler MJ, Hilliard JK. Journal: J Med Primatol; 1990; 19(2):155-60. PubMed ID: 2160017. Abstract: Eighty-two percent of a group of rhesus monkeys removed from Cayo Santiago were seropositive for B virus (Herpesvirus simiae) antibodies. Similar results were obtained from the Cayo Santiago macaque population two decades ago and from feral Indian rhesus monkeys. Thus it is likely that B virus has been enzootic in the Cayo Santiago population since 1938, when the colony was established with stock imported from India.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
