Diarrhea in newborn cynomolgus monkeys infected with human rotavirus

Abstract

Of six newborn cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) naturally delivered and normally nursed five developed diarrhea after oral administration of human rotavirus. Virus excretion was observed in the stool of four animals. This virus was transmitted to four out of six other monkeys causing diarrhea in only one animal. © 1978 Verlagsgesellschaft Otto Spatz.
