Measles in monkeys: an epidemiological study.

J A MacArthur, P G Mann, V Oreffo

    The Journal of Hygiene
    |October 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Measles in non-human primates can result in symptomless infections and non-immune offspring, even with high antibody titers in imported monkeys. This research highlights the close similarity between human and primate measles, suggesting implications for both.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Primate Immunology
    • Zoonotic Diseases

    Background:

    • Measles virus is a significant pathogen in non-human primates.
    • Understanding measles transmission and pathogenesis in primates is crucial for conservation and public health.
    • Imported primates can pose a risk for disease introduction into naive populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate measles infection dynamics in captive non-human primates.
    • To assess the impact of importation on measles immunity in primate populations.
    • To explore the clinical and pathological manifestations of measles in monkeys.

    Main Methods:

    • Monitoring antibody titers in imported and captive monkeys.
    • Observing clinical signs and outcomes of measles infection.
    • Histopathological examination of tissues from fatal cases.

    Main Results:

    • Imported monkeys with high antibody titers showed slow antibody decline in captivity.
    • Infected monkeys produced non-immune offspring.
    • An outbreak included symptomless infections, contrasting with measles' usual fatality in monkeys.
    • Histology revealed measles virus infection in the urinary bladder wall of one monkey.

    Conclusions:

    • Measles in non-human primates shares close similarities with human measles.
    • Primate measles studies offer valuable insights into human measles pathogenesis and control.
    • The potential for symptomless infections and transmission in primates warrants further investigation.
