Overview of viral oncology studies in Saguinus and Callithrix species

L G Wolfe et al. Primates Med. 1978.

Abstract

Marmoset monkeys are highly susceptible to tumor induction by type C sarcoma viruses and primate lymphotropic herpeviruses. Six experimental models were reviewed, three sarcoma models induced by Rous, feline or simian sarcoma viruses and three models of lymphoproliferative disease induced by Herpevirus saimiri, H. ateles or Epstein-Barr virus. Relative susceptibility of cotton-topped (Saguinus oedipus oedipus), white-lipped (S. nigricollis, S. fuscicollis subspecies) and commone (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) marmosets to the different viruses was compared.
