High seroprevalence of enterovirus infections in apes and old world monkeys

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 18, No. 2, Year 2012

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.
