Prevalence of Rickettsial Antibody and Cell-mediated Reaction in Cynomolgus Monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)

Abstract

Serologic studies on feral, colony-held cynomolgus monkeys indicated that 61% reacted to Coxiella burnetii antigens, and 36% reacted to Rickettsia conorii antigens. The results suggest that a high percentage of cynomolgus monkeys have been exposed to these organisms.
