Abstract
We tested for Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) from at least 15 species of non-human primates. RVFV IgG/IgM antibodies were detected in 3.7% (2 out of 53) of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and in 1.4% (1 out of 72) of unidentified non-human primate species. This study was the first investigation of RVFV in monkeys in Cameroon.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Primatology publishes research on non-human primates as models to study, prevent, and/or treat human diseases; subjects include veterinary medicine; morphology, physiology, reproductive biology, central nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases; husbandry, handling, experimental methodology, and management of non-human primate colonies and laboratories; non-human primate wildlife management; and behaviour and sociology as related to medical conditions and captive non-human primate needs.
Published material includes: Original Manuscripts - research results; Case Reports - scientific documentation of a single clinical study; Short Papers - case histories, methodologies, and techniques of particular interest; Letters to the Editor - opinions, controversies and sporadic scientific observations; Perspectives – opinion piece about existing research on a particular topic; Minireviews – a concise review of existing literature; Book Reviews by invitation; Special Issues containing selected papers from specialized meetings; and Editorials and memoriams authored by the Editor-in-Chief.
