Abstrakt: Baboons (Papio cynocephalus) imported from Ethiopia were screened for antibodies to various primate retroviruses by immunoblotting. Antibodies that cross‐reacted with SIV/Mne or with type D viral antigens were detected in approximately one‐third of these animals. In addition, 20% of these baboons had antibodies that cross‐reacted with HTLV‐I viral antigens. These data suggest that wild‐caught baboons are infected with retroviruses only partially related to known primate viral isolates.
