Abstract
BACKGROUND: The rhesus enteric caliciviruses (ReCVs) were recently described. METHODS: Prevalence of ReCV antibodies was tested in six species of captive non-human primates. RESULTS: High ReCV seroprevalence was revealed in rhesus and cynomolgus macaques. CONCLUSIONS: High rates of ReCV seroprevalence and diarrhea in juvenile macaques suggest that ReCVs may play a role in morbidity.
