title: [Viral hepatitis A in lower Old World monkeys (possibility of use as a model for vaccine testing)].
abstract: Morphological, virological and serological data characteristic of spontaneous hepatitis A in macaques and green monkeys have been presented. The disease similar to human hepatitis A was induced in M. iris macaques, with the virus isolated from spontaneously infected rhesus monkeys. Experimental model of hepatitis A in macaques is likely to be used for the testing of vaccines and antiviral preparations.
