The incidence of SIVagm seropositivity in a natural population of Ethiopian grivet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops) is investigated using plasma samples collected in 1973, and shown to be similar to that reported from the same population in 1990-91. Results tend to support our previous conclusions: endemic SIVagm has little or no impact on the survival of wild grivet monkeys, and the virus is transmitted almost always by sexual contact, occasionally by trauma, and rarely if ever maternally. Small differences between 1973 and 1990-93 suggest that the stress of drought years may raise the incidence of traumatic transmission, and temporarily depress transmission by sexual activity, in this population.
利用1973年采集的血浆样本，对埃塞俄比亚青腹绿猴（Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops）自然种群中SIVagm血清阳性的发生率进行了调查，结果显示与1990 - 1991年同一猴群报告的发生率相似。这些结果倾向于支持我们之前的结论：地方性SIVagm对野生青腹绿猴的生存几乎没有影响，该病毒几乎总是通过性接触传播，偶尔通过外伤传播，极少通过母婴传播。1973年和1990 - 1993年之间的微小差异表明，干旱年份的压力可能会增加外伤传播的发生率，并暂时抑制该种群中性活动传播。
