Kalter, S. S. and R. L Heberling (Div. Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Southwest Foundation for Research and Education, P. O. Box 28147, San Antonio, Texas 78228). Reovirus antibody in primates. Amer J Epidem 93: 403–412, 1971.—Primate sera derived from various genera and species of Old and New World monkeys have been surveyed for the presence or absence of HI antibody to the three recognized reovirus types. Type 3 antibody was widely distributed throughout all the sera studied. The prevalence of antibody to types 1 and 2 was significantly less than for type 3. Distribution of antibody to these two reovirus types was somewhat similar in pattern. Of interest was the absence of antibody to reovirus types 1 or 2, or both, in certain of the South American monkeys. Data indicate the occurence of infections in nonhuman primates in the wild. Laboratory bom animals were also shown to be quite susceptible to infection by the three reovirus types. The prevalence of antibody appears to decline with time in captivity.
