| Abstract: | Background It was suggested that Equine herpesvirus 9 (EHV‐9) could be transmitted to higher non‐human primates. Methods Four cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were inoculated with EHV‐9 by the nasal route. Results No abnormalities were observed pathologically, immunohistochemically, and genetically. Conclusions These findings indicate that cynomolgus monkeys are not susceptible to EHV‐9. |
