Foamy virus (FV) was recovered regularly from the leukocyte of rhesus and
cynomolgus monkeys and somewhat less often from African green monkey leukocytes.
Virus was found in virtually all organs of experimentally infected rhesus monkeys. No
illness or pathologic abnormalities were noted in these animals or in any of the naturally
infected animals in spite of the prolonged period of viral persistence in various organs and
tissues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
