title: High incidence of rhesus enteric calicivirus infections and diarrhea in captive juvenile macaques: a likely association.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The rhesus enteric caliciviruses (ReCVs) were recently described.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prevalence of ReCV antibodies was tested in six species of captive non-human primates.
  
  
  RESULTS
  High ReCV seroprevalence was revealed in rhesus and cynomolgus macaques.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High rates of ReCV seroprevalence and diarrhea in juvenile macaques suggest that ReCVs may play a role in morbidity.
