The services that are the focus of the research and evaluation …
Isolation and characterization of a new virus from owl monkeys
Owl monkey kidney cell cultures yielded a viral agent 32 days after initiation of the culture. The virus was identified as a herpesvirus by physico‐chemical, cultural, and morphological features. Serologically this herpesvirus was found to be unrelated to other members of this family, as well as to Herpesvirus aotus type 1 and 2. Based on these findings the name Herpesvirus aotus type 3 is suggested for this herpesvirus
