Swack, N. S., R. A. Schoentag and G. D. Hsiung (Virology Lab., Veterans Administration Hospital, West Haven, Conn. 06516). Foamy virus infection of rhesus and green monkeys in captivity. Amer. J. Epid., 1970, 92: 79–83—During January 1967 to February 1969 a total of 253 lots of kidney cell cultures prepared from 184 rhesus and 69 green monkeys were examined. A high percentage of foamy virus infection was observed in rhesus cultures when they were subjected to long-term incubation periods. Serologic results showed that rhesus monkeys appeared to be highly susceptible to foamy virus type. The number of foamy virus type 1 infections in rhesus monkeys appeared to increase during captivity as judged by the seroconversion observed in 8 of the 49 monkeys tested. No relationship between serum levels of neutralizing antibody and virus isolation could be determined.
