Susceptibility of the Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta) to H-1 Virus

Nature volume 209, pages 833–834 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE host range of the H-viruses, a new group of small agents approximately 200 Å in diameter, is as yet unknown. H-1, H-3 and HB have been isolated from tumours, embryos, and placentae of human beings1,2, while RV and X-14 have been obtained from tumour tissue of rats3,4. All these viruses are distinguished by their ability to produce an infection in new-born hamsters that results in death or a ‘mongoloid-type’ deformity, depending on the concentration of virus given. The present communication indicates that the rhesus monkey (Macaca, mulatta) is also susceptible to an H-virus.
