Distribution of Legionella pneumophila Antibody Among Primate Species

R J Helmke 1, S S Kalter 1, R L Heberling 1
PMCID: PMC273823  PMID: 6787070

Abstract

Sera representing 16 different primate species were surveyed by indirect immunofluorescence for evidence of antibody to Legionella pneumophila. The presence of antibody in Old and New World monkeys and in apes supports previous observations of the ubiquity of Legionella pneumophila.
