Experimental infection of marmosets with hepatitis A virus

J W Ebert et al. Primates Med. 1978.

Abstract

Saguinus mystax marmosets were experimentally infected with two strains of human hepatitis A virus. One of these strains of HAV was successfully subpassaged in this species of marmosets. In another experiment, the 1.32 and 1.41 g/cm3 buoyant density species of HAV derived from an infected chimpanzee stool were shown to be infectious in three species of marmosets. The value of the marmoset as an experimental model for hepatitis A infection was demonstrated by these studies.
