Abstract:
The results of observations on the pattern of spread of hepatitis A virus and immune response to it in African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) kept in the animal house are presented. The infection in the monkeys was found to be characterized by all virological, serological, and biochemical parameters inherent in hepatitis A virus. The results indicated that hepatitis A in monkeys may run both asymptomatic and clinically manifest course, and the spread of infection in the animal house sequentially involves most seronegative animals into the epidemic process.
