| Common name | Total no. of samples | No. of positivesa | PCR resultsb
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STLV-1 | STLV-L | |||
| Hamadryas baboon | 40 | 22 | 0 (0.0%) | 20 (50.0%) |
| Hybrid baboon | 50 | 24 | 4c (8.0%) | 19c (38.0%) |

| Gelada baboon | 156 | 0 | NDd | ND |
| Grivet monkey | 177 | 41 | 35 (20.0%) | 0 (0.0%) |
a
Data are the numbers of seropositive samples judged by PA.
b
Type-specific PCR was done to differentiate between STLV-1 and -L. The numbers in parentheses indicate the percentage of positivity.
c
One sample was dually positive in STLV-1- and STLV-L-specific PCR.
d
ND, not done because no seropositive samples were found.
