title: Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) may not become infected with equine herpesvirus 9.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  It was suggested that Equine herpesvirus 9 (EHV-9) could be transmitted to higher non-human primates.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were inoculated with EHV-9 by the nasal route.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No abnormalities were observed pathologically, immunohistochemically, and genetically.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These findings indicate that cynomolgus monkeys are not susceptible to EHV-9.
