On the relationship between measles in humans and monkeys

Abstract

Observations of this disease in monkeys are of considerable interest in the study of measles. Back in 1770, Paul et reported a case of a natural infection of a monkey from a measles baby. A similar case was described with Сhaѵigny in 1898. In recent years, there have been many works on experimental infection of monkeys. So, Gruenbaum in 1904, injecting the blood of a chimpanzee with measles, caused him an uncharacteristic runny nose. Anderson and Goldberger in 1911, experiments on a large number of monkeys proved that a number of monkey breeds (Macacus resus, sinicus, cynomolgus) are susceptible to measles. These experiments were confirmed in their works by Nicole and Conseil, Jurgelunas, Black and Trash, and many others.
