    Author: Comte-Devolx J, Vuillon-Cacciuttolo G, Balzamo E, Bert J, Gambarelli D, de Micco P, Tamalet J.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 1980; 9(1-2):28-38. PubMed ID: 6771400.
    Abstract:
    Serial neurologic examinations of six rhesus monkeys inoculated with a strain of kuru revealed complex clinical signs falling into two distinct syndromes. Experimental kuru in the rhesus monkey is different from the disease in man and to a lesser extent in the chimpanzee. Two factors are proposed to account for these observations: modification of the strain, and specific host characteristics.
