Primary cultures of brain cells from a patient with amyotrophic leukospongiosis (ALSP) and animals with the experimentally reproduced disease yielded an agent which by its physicochemical and molecular biological properties was placed among nonclassical viruses, the agents of spongiform encephalopathies. The agent is small and resistant to a number of detergents, lipid solvents, oxidants, enzymes, UV irradiation, and heating. The role of the isolate in the development of ALSP is verified by experimental reproduction of the disease in guinea pigs inoculated either with a brain suspension from ALSP patient or with the purified and concentrated agent. The true nature of ALSP in experimentally inoculated animals was verified by clinical, morphological, and virological studies.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012453 Saimiri A genus of the family CEBIDAE consisting of four species: S. boliviensis, S. orstedii (red-backed squirrel monkey), S. sciureus (common squirrel monkey), and S. ustus. They inhabit tropical rain forests in Central and South America. S. sciureus is used extensively in research studies. Monkey, Squirrel,Squirrel Monkey,Monkeys, Squirrel,Saimirus,Squirrel Monkeys
D012897 Slow Virus Diseases Diseases of viral origin, characterized by incubation periods of months to years, insidious onset of clinical manifestations, and protracted clinical course. Though the disease process is protracted, viral multiplication may not be unusually slow. Conventional viruses produce slow virus diseases such as SUBACUTE SCLEROSING PANENCEPHALITIS, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY, PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL), and AIDS. Diseases produced by unconventional agents were originally considered part of this group. They are now called PRION DISEASES.
