Recurrence of blebs in the oral skin and mucosa within four to five months post-infection. (A) spontaneously recurring vesicular lesions on macaque No. 14067 on days 113 and 172; (B) spontaneously recurring vesicular lesion on macaque No. 14139 on days 165 and 210; (C) oral swabs and ocular swabs were collected from No. 14067 and No. 14139 on recurring vesicular lesion day, and viral shedding was detected; the 1* bar indicates a positive result for viral genomic DNA by PCR in lane 1* (panel below) with primers against UL48 (405 bp); lanes 2, 3 and 4 of PCR electropherograms correspond to 2, 3 and 4 of the graph above, respectively (panel above).
