Preliminary report: isolation of Ebola virus from monkeys imported to USA.

Disease Assessment Division, US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease, Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD 21701.

An epizootic caused by an Ebola-related filovirus and by simian haemorrhagic fever virus began among cynomolgus monkeys in a US quarantine facility after introduction of monkeys from the Philippines. This incident, the first in which a filovirus has been isolated from non-human primates without deliberate infection, raises the possibility that cynomolgus monkeys could be a reservoir of Ebola virus infection.
