Reduction of Losses in Newly Imported 'Macaca mulatta' by Measles Immunization.
Abstract
Eighty newly imported rhesus monkeys were divided into four groups. Seven showed a measles antibody titer on arrival, 17 were treated with monkey serum containing antimeasles antibody, 18 were vaccinated for measles and 33 served as untreated controls. Medical treatment requirements were significantly (p less than 0.05) less in the previously immune and serum-treated groups than in the remaining groups. There were no deaths in the previously immune group; the lowest number of deaths occurred in the serum-treated group (11.7%), and increased through the vaccinated (22.2%) and control groups (30.3%).
