Abstract

Simian type D retroviruses (SRVs) are one of the causative agents of simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Asian macaques. In the past, SRV isolates from macaques had only been identified at the US primate centers, outside the country of origin and after the animals had been introduced into a new environment. In this study, we report the first isolation, cultivation and molecular characterization of the type D simian retrovirus naturally infecting wild caught macaques in their natural habitats in the country of origin, in this case, Indonesia. When peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from Macaca fascicularis (Mf) and M. nemestrina (Mn) were co-cultured with Raji human B-cell line, syncytia were observed microscopically and confirmed by immunofluoresence assay using antibody to SRV-2. Immunoblot analysis of purified Mf-ET1006 from cell culture supernatants demonstrated that the viral core and envelope proteins reacted with rabbit anti-SRV. Sequence analysis of Mf isolates in the viral envelope region revealed high homology to SRV-2 (94-96%). On the other hand, the homologies in the envelope region of Mn isolates were less than 80% to SRV-1, SRV-2, SRV-3 and Mf isolates. This study suggests that the isolate from Mn may be different from any other published SRV isolates.

Abstract

Nonhuman primates (NHPs) play as indispensable animal model in biomedical research for studying a variety of human health issues, diseases and disorders, therapies, and preventive strategies. Since the immunological and physiological responses of NHPs, at some extent, to experimental viral infections are similar to humans, it is possible that studies of dengue infection in NHPs may aid understanding of dengue infection in humans. In this study,we used pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) as the experimental animal to study dengue-3 (DEN-3) virus infection.We evaluated DEN-3 viral distribution and replication sites after a primary infection in all collected tissues. Sequential localization in tissue of DEN-3 virus was studied in pigtailed macaques euthanized three days post viral inoculation (10 pfu mL ). Pigtailed macaque that was inoculated subcutaneously or intravenously; showed the highest viremia (62.94 pfu mL and 58.62 pfu mL ) detected by one step reverse transcription real time PCR. The virus inoculated in pigtailed macaques by subcutaneous injection was rapidly disseminated from the inoculation site to the lymph nodes, adrenal glands, kidneys, heart, thyroid, liver, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles. Meanwhile, dissemination of dengue virus in pigtailed macaques inoculated intravenously was detected in lymph nodes, thymus, salivary glands, liver, and prostate gland. This study suggested that the above mentioned-tissue specimens are involved or affected by DEN-3 virus replication and the route of infection seemed to have influenced the virus dissemination.
