The lymphocytes of five owl monkeys infected with Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) and three control monkeys were studied. Lymphocytes were separated on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients, incubated in suspension cultures, and prepared for electron microscopic and immunofluorescent study at 24, 48, and 72 hours

Owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) were inoculated with XJ, a pathogenic strain of Junin virus, seeking new animal models for Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever. Nine monkeys were inoculated intramuscularly with 30 or 300,000 TCID50 of junin virus. Hematological and virological studies showed no alteration in

During routine antimalarial drug efficacy trials, we observed, for the first time, severe thrombocytopenia developing in Aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium vivax. Data obtained from 26 Aotus infected with the AMRU-1 strain showed that 77% developed severe thrombocytopenia, whereas only 15% had
