Abstract excerpt
Saimiri monkeys were inoculated three times with hepatitis A virus and observed in a follow-up study for sixteen months. The monkeys developed recurrent hepatitis involving liver damage and cycles of HAV antigen shedding in stools. The relapses were presumably due to immune response effects.
