Baboon and human infections from a novel adenovirus species. (a) A 1997 acute respiratory outbreak in a baboon colony. A novel adenovirus, named simian adenovirus C (SAdV-C), was discovered in association with an outbreak at a primate research facility that sickened 4 of 9 baboons and resulted in two cases of fatal pneumonia. (b) Serological testing of staff personnel at the facility and controls (five epidemiologically unrelated young children) for exposure to simian adenoviruses SAdV-B and SAdV-C. Neutralizing antibodies to SAdV-C are absent before the outbreak but detected in 6 of 6 staff personnel after the outbreak, indicating recent or prior exposure to the virus. Abbreviations: BAdV, baboon adenovirus; SAdV, simian adenovirus; Pre, pre-outbreak; Post, post-outbreak; N/A, not applicable.
