Abstract
We present serological and virological evidence of spontaneous infection in Old World lower monkeys with human hepatitis C virus or, maybe, antigenically related but genetically different simian virus strain. These data is of both theoretical and practical importance and can serve as the basis for further development of experimental model of hepatitis C on lower monkeys.
