Abstract

Experimental injection of Herpesvirus saimiri into owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus), several species of tamarins and marmosets (Saguinus oedipus, S. fuscicollis, S. nigricollis, S. mystax, and Callithrix jaccuhus), howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya), and spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) results in lymphoma or lymphocytic leukemia (Cicmanec et al. 1974; Deinhardt 1975; Dienhardt et al. 1974; Fleckenstein and Desrosiers 1982; Hunt et al. 1972a,b, 1976; Hunt 1978; Rangan et al. 1977; Melendez et al. 1971b, 1972; Wright et al. 1977; Wolfe et al. 1971). Lymphoproliferative disease has been described in cebus monkeys (C. albifrons) but it has not been reproduced (Melendez et al. 1970).
