[Foamy viruses in baboons and macaques]
Abstract
The occurrence of foamy viruses among baboons and macaca monkeys in Sukhumi monkey farm was investigate;. The monkeys were shown to be carriers mainly of foamy virus type II. The frequency of virus isolation increased with the age of the animals and reached 88.8-100% in adult specimens. The virus behaviour in cell cultures is described. The morphological characteristics of the virus are based on electron microscopic examinations of ultrathin sections of primary and inoculated cell cultures.
