Four cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were inoculated in the lips and tongues with B virus. Virus shedding and antibody responses were monitored for up to 50 days postinfection. Virus was isolated from the oral cavities of all monkeys at 6 days postinfection despite the absence of observable lesions. Virus was not isolated from genital swabs or serum. Antibodies to both B virus and herpes simplex virus were detected by neutralization between days 8 and 12. Virus-specific IgM and IgG antibodies were measured by antibody capture radioimmunoassay. IgM was first detected on day 6; by contrast, IgG did not appear until day 12. Antibodies reactive in a competitive radioimmunoassay appeared by day 12 and peaked at 30 to 40 days postinfection. This study provides data on which to base the diagnosis of primary B virus infection in cynomolgus monkeys.
