[Immunologic parameters of monkeys infected by urogenital mycoplasmas].
In monkeys contained in captivity conditions in open-air cages or in group cages human mycoplasmas are often detected: antigens of Mycoplasma hominis in blood serum were revealed in 33.3% of cases, and antibodies to it--in 15.6% of cases. IgM to M. hominis were detected more often than IgG. In 8 monkeys both types of immunoglobulins were detected. Rates of detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum antigens and specific antibodies were 43.1% and 31.1% respectively, and IgG were found more frequently than IgM (in 22 cases both types of immunoglobulins were revealed). High rates of M. hominis and U. urealyticum antigens and antibodies detection in blood serum of both healthy monkeys and monkeys with urogenital tract diseases show prevalence of human mycoplasmas carriage among monkeys contained in captivity conditions.
