摘要：

Among the primates held at the CIRMF Primate Center, Gabon, no serological sign of SIV infection could be demonstrated in 68 cynomolgus monkeys, 60 chimpanzees, nine gorillas, and 12 sun-tailed monkeys, while seven of 102 mandrills and six of 24 vervets were infected with SIV. Six mandrills, seven vervets and ten cynomolgus monkeys exhibited a full HTLV type 1 Western blot profile. The sera of two gorillas and one chimpanzee presented with a positive but not typical HTLV Western blot profile. The sera of the gorillas lacked p24 antibodies, and the chimpanzee had a Western blot profile evocative of HTLV-II. All attempts to amplify viruses from these animals by PCR were unsuccessful. Two other chimpanzees and seven gorillas presented with indeterminate HTLV Western blot profiles. In the mandrill colony, only male animals were STLV seropositive and no sexual transmission to females was observed. SIV infection was also more frequent in male than female mandrills and sexual transmission appeared to be a rare event. No SRV infection was observed in macaques.
