Seroprevalence of BV (Macacine herpesvirus 1) in bred cynomolgus monkeys in Cambodia.

چکیده
The seroprevalence of B Virus (BV, Macacine herpesvirus 1) in bred cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) in Cambodia was investigated. Blood samples were collected by venous puncture between 2007 and 2011, and a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to detect IgG antibodies against BV. A total of 1710 blood samples were examined, and the overall prevalence of BV antibodies was 33.92% (580/1710). The young adult (2-6 years) monkeys had a seroprevalence of 30.57% (497/1626), and the older (>7 years) monkeys had a seroprevalence of 98.81% (83/84). The present investigation revealed that the prevalence of BV antibodies in bred cynomolgus monkeys was highly correlated with their age, with higher prevalence in older monkeys in Cambodia.

Detection of B virus infection in cynomolgus monkeys by ELISA using simian agent 8 as alternative antigen.
The use of simian agent 8 (SA8) as an antigen for B virus (BV) antibody detection was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Seventy-two sera judged as positive using BV antigen were all positive when the SA8 antigen was used. Out of 28 BV-negative sera 2 were positive against the SA8 antigen and one serum was classified as indeterminate. The present data indicates that detection of BV antibody can b...

A serosurvey for Pneumocystis carinii infection of laboratory-bred and wild-born monkeys was made by the indirect immunofluorescence method. The antibody titers of wild cynomolgus (Macaca fascicularis) and Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata fuscata) to P. carinii (Pc) were higher than those of laboratory-bred cynomolgus monkeys; 54.9% of the wild cynomolgus and 40% of Japanese monkeys had antibod...
متن کاملMolecular evidence for distinct genotypes of monkey B virus (herpesvirus simiae) which are related to the macaque host species.
Although monkey B virus (herpesvirus simiae; BV) is common in all macaque species, fatal human infections appear to be associated with exposure to rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), suggesting that BV isolates from rhesus monkeys may be more lethal to nonmacaques than are BV strains indigenous to other macaque species. To determine if significant differences that would support this supposition e...
متن کاملPlasmodium vivax Seroprevalence in Bred Cynomolgus Monkeys, China
To the Editor: Malaria caused by Plasmodium spp. is one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases in the world, especially in tropical countries. P. vivax represents the second most prevalent of malaria species. Therefore, as measures to control the high death rates in humans caused by P. falciparum become more effective, P. vivax is likely to become the primary malaria threat (1). In P. vivax i...

Our survey showed P. vivax seropositivity in 5 of the 6 nonhuman primate centers in southern China, which is a potential health problem for bred cynomolgus monkeys. This fi nding also indicates the risk for infection with P. vivax for the employees of these nonhuman primate centers. Therefore, studies are warranted that assess the seroprevalence of P. vivax infection in persons who work in thes...
