  • Title: Rhinovirus infection of vervet monkeys. A model of human rhinovirus disease.
    Author: Martin GV, Heath RB.
    Journal: Br J Exp Pathol; 1969 Oct; 50(5):516-9. PubMed ID: 4310539.
    Abstract:
    Experiments are described which indicate that equine rhinovirus infection of vervet monkeys can be used as an in vivo model of human rhinovirus infection. It is, however, shown that the equine rhinovirus has properties which are not typical of human rhinoviruses. The equine virus produced clinical signs in the monkeys and the infection could be estimated quantitatively by measuring the duration of virus excretion and the antibody response. The possible use of this rhinovirus model system for the testing of antiviral compounds is discussed.
