Background:

Spontaneous viral infections in non-human primates can pose significant challenges to captive populations.
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) has been identified as a causative agent in such outbreaks.
Previous detection of EMCV in monkeys was recorded at the Sukhumi Breeding Center in 1974.

Purpose of the Study:

To present findings on a spontaneous encephalomyocarditis viral infection in monkeys.
To describe the characteristics of the encephalomyocarditis virus.
To outline diagnostic principles based on pathological findings.

Main Methods:

Pathological examination of infected monkeys.
Viral characterization studies.
Epidemiological investigation of outbreak occurrences.

Main Results:

The study details the occurrence of encephalomyocarditis in monkeys, first noted in 1974 and observed in a new location since 2001.
Key characteristics of the encephalomyocarditis virus are elucidated.
Diagnostic criteria derived from pathological studies are presented.

Conclusions:

Encephalomyocarditis virus represents a persistent etiological agent in monkey populations.
Understanding viral characteristics and pathological indicators is crucial for diagnosis.
Continued surveillance and diagnostic preparedness are essential for managing EMCV outbreaks in captive primates.
