To estimate population exposure of apes and Old World monkeys in Africa to enteroviruses (EVs), we conducted a seroepidemiologic study of serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies against 3 EV types. Detection of species A, B, and D EVs infecting wild chimpanzees demonstrates their potential widespread circulation in primates.
为了评估非洲类人猿和旧大陆猴的人群接触肠道病毒(EV)的情况,我们开展了一项针对 3 种 EV 血清型特异性中和抗体的血清流行病学研究。检测到感染野生黑猩猩的 A、B 和 D 型 EV,表明这些病毒可能在灵长类动物中广泛传播。
