Jos virus infection in domestic animals and primates. Pathogenicity and immunological studies.
Three species of domestic animals (rabbits, sheep and goats) and two species of primates Erythrocebus patas monkeys and baboon (Papio anubis) were infected with Jos virus. None of the infected animals developed viraemia or overt clinical disease. Complement-fixing and neutralising antibodies were demonstrated in sera of infected animals.
