Key result
Enteric viruses were detected in 68% of fecal specimens from monkeys with diarrhea in a Chinese colony, with enteroviruses present in 52% of Chinese and 76% of US specimens.
Population
Monkeys with diarrhea housed in two primate colonies. n=151 fecal specimens.

High enteric virus prevalence signals endemic infections in primate colonies; leaves open implications for colony management and translational research.
Cross-Sectional (n=151)
Yes
Endemic infections with enteric viruses are highly prevalent in monkeys with diarrhea across two major primate colonies.
Wang et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Diarrhea in monkeys (n=151). Enteric viruses was evaluated on Detection of viral agents in fecal specimens. Enteric viruses were detected in 68% of fecal specimens from monkeys with diarrhea in a Chinese colony, with enteroviruses present in 52% of Chinese and 76% of US specimens.
