Observation of togavirus-like particles in nonhuman primates.
Particles resembling togaviruses were observed by electron microscopy in the urinary bladder lamina propria of one capuchin monkey and in placental syncytiotrophoblasts of one baboon. Type C viruses were observed in the baboon placenta, but not in the tissues of the capuchin monkey.
