A study was made of the ‘latent’ viral flora of simian tonsils. This was followed by isolation of viruses from two batches of sick monkeys whose illness is described. Simian viruses 15, 17 and 32 were isolated from nose and throat swabs obtained from the sick monkeys. A connexion between human and simian adenoviruses is suggested.
