| lethal canine distemper virus outbreak in cynomolgus monkeys in japan in 2008. | canine distemper virus (cdv) has recently expanded its host range to nonhuman primates. a large cdv outbreak occurred in rhesus monkeys at a breeding farm in guangxi province, china, in 2006, followed by another outbreak in rhesus monkeys at an animal center in beijing in 2008. in 2008 in japan, a cdv outbreak also occurred in cynomolgus monkeys imported from china. in that outbreak, 46 monkeys died from severe pneumonia during a quarantine period. a cdv strain (cyn07-dv) was isolated in vero ce ... | 2013 | 23135729 |
| molecular characterization of enterocytozoon bieneusi isolates in laboratory macaques in north china: zoonotic concerns. | the significance of wild and zoo nonhuman primates (nhps) as potential sources of human enterocytozoon bieneusi infections has been increasingly appreciated, while the role of laboratory nhps in zoonotic transmission of microsporidiosis remains elusive. in this study, the infection rate, genetic characteristic, and zoonotic potential of e. bieneusi were investigated for 205 laboratory macaques in beijing, north china. the parasite was identified in 37 (18.0%) animals by nested pcr and sequencing ... | 2017 | 28861612 |
