| Abstract: | Stools, rectal swabs, throat swabs, and tissues were collected from 508 baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in 17 areas of Kenya and Tanzania during 5 field trips between 1961 and 1968. A total of 11 isolations were made: nine agents were recovered from 508 fecal samples and 2 from 468 throat swabs. These isolates were identified as adenovirus serotypes AA153, SA7, SV15 and SV23. SV23 was found only in throat swabs and never from fecal material while AA153, SA7 and SV15 were recovered only from fecal material. One rectal specimen produced 2 serotypes, SV15 and SA7. No isolates were recovered from necropsy samples from 19 animals. |
