Our study demonstrates for the first time that
Herpesvirus saimiri
can induce acute lymphocytic leukemia in owl monkeys (
Aotus trivirgatus
) and that malignant lymphoma can be induced in this species of nonhuman primates by the inoculation of the virus by various routes (intravenous, subcutaneous, and intradermal).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
