    Summary

    Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC) caused severe myocarditis and encephalitis in baboons. The EMC-78/79 strain was identical to previous EMC isolates, affecting multiple organs in experimental animals.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Primate Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC) outbreaks in captive primates can pose significant health risks.
    • Previous EMC strains have been isolated from rhesus monkeys.

    Purpose:

    • To report and characterize a 1978-1979 encephalomyocarditis outbreak in baboons.
    • To compare the isolated EMC strain with existing reference strains.

    Summary:

    • Four cases of encephalomyocarditis were diagnosed in baboons in a USSR simian preserve.
    • Virological and pathomorphological analyses confirmed the diagnosis.
    • The recovered EMC-78/79 isolate was identical to the prototype EMC strain and a previously isolated EMC-70 strain.
    • Affected baboons exhibited severe myocarditis, moderate encephalitis, and inflammation in brown fat and skeletal muscles.
    • Experimental infections in guinea pigs and mice showed similar pathological features.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the susceptibility of baboons to EMC virus.
    • Provides data on the pathological effects of EMC virus in non-human primates.
    • Contributes to understanding EMC virus epidemiology and strain characteristics in simian populations.
