EXPERIMENTAL POLIOMYELITIS IN CERCOPITHECUS AETHIOPS SABAEUS (THE GREEN AFRICAN MONKEY) BY ORAL AND OTHER ROUTES

摘要

The green African monkey, Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus , has been infected with experimental poliomyelitis after feeding artificially contaminated food. This species is also highly susceptible to intracerebral, intranasal, and intraabdominal inoculations. In one experiment with a human stool from a case of poliomyelitis, Cercopithecus was more susceptible to intranasal and to intraabdominal inoculation than Macaca mulatta .
