Vervet monkey disease has been successfully transmitted to hamsters but only after at least 9 consecutive hamster passages following initial inoculation of monkey material previously passages 9 times in guinea-pigs and 3 times in monkeys. A uniformly fatal illness was produced in suckling hamsters at the 9th passage level. The disease in hamsters can be distinguished from that produced in guinea-pigs and monkeys in that it produces signs of encephalitis and the brain contains high levels of the infective agent.
绿猴病已成功传染给仓鼠,但这只是在最初接种的猴源材料在豚鼠体内传代9次、在猴子体内传代3次之后,又在仓鼠体内至少连续传代9次之后才实现的。在第9代传代水平时,哺乳仓鼠出现了一种致死率一致的疾病。仓鼠身上的这种疾病与豚鼠和猴子身上的疾病有所不同,其表现为出现脑炎症状,且大脑中含有高浓度的感染因子。
