چکیده
Since 2006, canine distemper outbreaks have occurred in rhesus monkeys at a breeding farm in Guangxi, People's Republic of China. Approximately 10,000 animals were infected (25%-60% disease incidence); 5%-30% of infected animals died. The epidemic was controlled by vaccination. Amino acid sequence analysis of the virus indicated a unique strain.

The injection of suspensions of dog and ferret spleens from various generations of a particular serial passage of canine distemper was found to regularly produce a disease in rhesus monkeys which we believed to be distemper (1). Further work has shown this identification to be incorrect. The response in monkeys is not due to Carr6's virus but to lymphocytic choriomeningitis which has been simul...
متن کاملCanine distemper virus isolated from a monkey efficiently replicates on Vero cells expressing non-human primate SLAM receptors but not human SLAM receptor
BACKGROUND In 2008, an outbreak of canine distemper virus (CDV) infection in monkeys was reported in China. We isolated CDV strain (subsequently named Monkey-BJ01-DV) from lung tissue obtained from a rhesus monkey that died in this outbreak. We evaluated the ability of this virus on Vero cells expressing SLAM receptors from dog, monkey and human origin, and analyzed the H gene of Monkey-BJ01-DV...
