Abstract
Simian foamy virus (SFV) pseudotypes of vesicular stomatitis virus have been successfully produced and their host range characterized. The availability of these pseudotypes has permitted the development of a rapid, quantitative assay to measure neutralizing antibody titres to SFV that has proved useful in a sero-epidemiological study.
