This study reports the prevalence of simian immunodeficiency virus and the relationship of serostatus to age and sex among a wild population of Ethiopian grivet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops). Seropositivity paralleled patterns of sexual activity, being nearly universal in females of reproductive age, and absent in all males except those that were fully adult. One female seroconverted between two capture seasons at an age consistent with first breeding. Our findings support a predominantly sexual mode of transmission among SIVagm infected grivets.
本研究报告了埃塞俄比亚白领白眉猴（Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops）野生种群中猿猴免疫缺陷病毒的流行情况以及血清学状态与年龄和性别的关系。血清阳性与性活动模式平行，在育龄雌性中几乎普遍存在，而在所有雄性中，除了完全成年的雄性外均不存在。一只雌性在两个捕获季节之间血清转化，其年龄与首次繁殖一致。我们的研究结果支持在感染SIVagm的白领白眉猴中主要通过性传播的模式。
