 AB    Acquired immunodeficiency in non-human primates has been associated with
       two types of retroviruses: (i) Simian Retrovirus (SRV), a type D virus
       and (ii) a lentivirus, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). Both types
       represent a serious health threat to animals living in different primate
       research centres, zoos, medical institutions and in private homes. The
       sera of 175 monkeys belonging to different species were tested for the
       presence of antibodies against type D retroviruses and SIV. The
       Mason-Pfizer monkey virus, the prototype of D retroviruses, and Simian
       Immunodeficiency Virus, designated SIVmac251, were used. None of the
       sera tested proved to be positive for the presence of type D
       retroviruses and only one serum of an African green monkey was positive
       for the presence of antibodies to SIV.
