Everything about Simian Hemorrhagic Fever Virus totally explained
Simian hemorrhagic fever virus or
Simian haemorrhagic fever virus or
SHFV, is a highly pathogenic virus in monkeys. It is a positive-stranded
RNA virus classified in the family
Arteriviridae.
Hosts
Patas are believed to be the natural host for the virus since about 50% of wild patas monkeys have
antibodies for the virus, while antibodies are much less prevalent in other
simian species such as
vervets and
baboons. In
macaques, however, infection with this virus can result in acute severe disease with high mortality.
Symptoms
Asymptomatic infection of the virus can occur in patas monkeys, vervet monkeys, and baboons, although it's observed primarily in patas monkeys. Infection has a rapid onset with animals developing a high
fever, facial
edema,
cyanosis,
anorexia,
melena, and may begin to
hemorrhage at the
cutaneous,
subcutaneous, and
retrobulbar levels.
Thrombocytopenia will develop soon after. Death usually occurs within 10-15 days after symptoms appear .
