T-Strain Mycoplasmas and Reproductive Failure in Monkeys.

摘要

T-strain mycoplasmas were isolated from the genital tracts of three genera of female monkeys: the talapoins, Miopithecas talapoin, the patas, Erythrocebus patas, and the macaques, Macaca fascicularis. The talapoins have not reproduced successfully for the past two years. Fertility in the patas has also been reduced, with a high incidence of stillbirths and spontaneous abortions. The macaques were not permitted to breed. (Author)
