Some viral outbreaks of disease at the California Primate Research Center are described. Viruses isolated included simian adenoviruses SV15, SV20, SV32, SV37 in Macaca mulatta, and SV15 in M. arctoides; Herpesvirus hominis in Aotus trivirgatus, and Herpesvirus simiae in M. radiata and M. mulatta. The potential danger associated with these occurrences to both man and non-human primates is emphasized.
