Abstract

In situ hybridization analysis of monkey ganglia 2 months after natural infection with simian varicella virus (SVV) revealed SVV DNA only in neurons. These findings parallel the detection of varicella zoster virus in neurons of latently infected human ganglia. Natural exposure to SVV provides a model system to study varicella latency.
