Popis: The presence of SV40 viral particles in the environment of cynomolgus monkeys naturally infected with this virus has been analyzed by testing waste of the cage samples.SV40 was detected in 2/4 cages tested where mixed infection of SV40 and adenoviruses was observed after inoculation of virions concentrated from cage waste in CV-1 cells. The detected SV40 strains were identical in the regions studied to strain W17, isolated at National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, UK (NIBSC) from a (1/19) monkey kidney biopsy and contains an archetypal regulatory region. The recovery of infectious SV40 virions from the cages provides information about the potential mechanism of transmission of this virus.
