| detection and molecular characterization of ebola viruses causing disease in human and nonhuman primates. | ebola (ebo) viruses were detected in specimens obtained during the hemorrhagic fever outbreak among humans in kikwit, democratic republic of the congo (drc), in 1995 (subtype zaire) and during an outbreak of disease in cynomolgus macaques in alice, texas, and the philippines in 1996 (subtype reston). reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assays were developed and proven effective for detecting viral rna in body fluids and tissues of infected individuals. little change was seen in the n ... | 1999 | 9988180 |
| the complete genome and genetic characteristics of srv-4 isolated from cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis). | at least 5 serotypes of exogenous simian retrovirus type d (srv/d) have been found in nonhuman primates, but only srv-1, 2 and 3 have been completely sequenced. srv-4 was recovered once from cynomolgus macaques in california in 1984, but its genome sequences are unknown. here we report the second identification of srv-4 and its complete genome from infected cynomolgus macaques with indochinese and indonesian/indochinese mixed ancestry. phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that srv-4 was distantly ... | 2010 | 20615522 |
| correlation between presence of trypanosoma cruzi dna in heart tissue of baboons and cynomolgus monkeys, and lymphocytic myocarditis. | trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of chagas' disease, preferentially infects cardiac and digestive tissues. baboons living in texas (papio hamadryas) and cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis) have been reported to be infected naturally with t. cruzi. in this study, we retrospectively reviewed cases of animals that were diagnosed with lymphocytic myocarditis and used a polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based method (s36/s35 primer set) to amplify t. cruzi dna from archived frozen and formal ... | 2014 | 24567317 |
