Ebola haemorrhagic fever: experimental infection of monkeys. 1978

E T Bowen, and G S Platt, and D I Simpson, and L B McArdell, and R T Raymond

Experimental infection of rhesus and vervet monkeys with Ebola virus produced a uniformly fatal illness. The course of the disease resembled that found in man with weight loss, anorexia, fever, haemorrhages and skin rash being frequently seen. Viraemia was obvious within two days of infection and persisted until death which occurred between days five and eight. Virus was found in high concentrations in several organs but particularly in the liver, spleen, and lungs.
