| comparative susceptibility of african green monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) to experimental infection with leishmania leishmania donovani and leishmania leishmania infantum. | the leishmaniases are global health problems that affect both humans and animals. the availability of nonhuman primate models is desirable for such important areas as testing candidate vaccines and newly developed chemo- and immunotherapeutic agents. visceral leishmaniasis was experimentally induced in african green monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) by intravenously inoculating 10(7) amastigotes/kg of body weight of either leishmania leishmania donovani of human origin (group 1) or l. l. infantum ... | 1993 | 8459677 |
