Abstract

Abstract: Objective To find out epizootic of simian varicella virus occurring in cynomolgus monkey. Methods Using varicella-zoster virus IgG ELISA kit to detect cynomolgus monkey sera Ł¬from three facilities,which is B virus antibodies negative. Result The positive rate of simian varicella virus antibodies were 14.55%,30.95%,27.66% in three guangxi breeding facilities, respectively. During the serological tests, all the positive cynomolgus monkeys didn’t develop a rash. Conclusion After infection with Simian varicella virus,the virus becomes latent in ganglia, and can reactivate to produce zoster. This potential risk shoud be paid more attention.

Key words: Cynomolgus monkey, Simian varicella virus, Antibodies
