Naturally acquired simian varicella virus infection in African green monkeys.
Simian varicella virus (SVV) infection of primates shares clinical, pathological, immunological, and virological features with varicella-zoster virus infection of humans. Natural varicella infection was simulated by exposing four SVV-seronegative monkeys to monkeys inoculated intratracheally with SVV, in which viral DNA and RNA persist in multiple tissues for more than 1 year (T. M. White, R. M...
متن کاملProduction of specific varicella antiserum.
Serological investigations of varicella have been limited because of difficulty in preparing specific immune serum. Varicella antiserum has been prepared in monkeys for fluorescent antibody purposes (N. J. Schmidt et al., J. Lab. Clin. Med. 66:403, 1965). However, monkey serum often has antibody to other members of the herpesvirus group and frequently is anticomplementary. The recent report of ...
متن کاملSerological investigation of an outbreak of simian varicella in Erythrocebus patas monkeys.
An epizootic of simian varicella occurring in a colony of Erythrocebus patas monkeys was studied serologically by using radioimmunoassay and neutralization tests against (i) a virus strain isolated from an animal that died during the epizootic, (ii) a simian varicella virus strain from an earlier outbreak of simian varicella-like disease at another facility, and (iii) human varicella-zoster vir...

Background: Varicella-zoster infection is a serious and potentially fatal disease, especially among newborns.Several studies have described postnatal varicella zoster exposure among neonates and reported on the efficacy of varicella-zoster immunoglobulins (VZIG) used as post-exposure prophylaxis. Unfortunately, VZIG is not available in Jordan. A limited number of studies have investigated the e...
متن کاملOcular inoculation of monkeys with simian varicella virus: clinical and histopathologic observations.
PURPOSE To explore the possibility that inoculation of the eyes of African green monkeys with simian varicella virus (SVV) induces the symptoms of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), as seen in humans, and to develop a realistic and reproducible animal model of herpes zoster ophthalmicus for experimental studies. METHODS In the first experiment, the right eyes of three African green monkeys wer...
