Summary
A spontaneous lymphosarcoma in an African green monkey mimicked human T-lymphotropic virus type I-associated lymphoma. This simian T-lymphotropic virus (STLV) positive monkey
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Pathology
- Primate Oncology
- Viral Oncogenesis
Background:
- Malignant lymphoma in humans is often associated with human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I).
- Simian T-lymphotropic virus (STLV) is the counterpart of HTLV-I in non-human primates.
- Spontaneous lymphoproliferative diseases in non-human primates can serve as models for human diseases.
