PCR Detection and DNA Sequence Analysis of the Regulatory Region of Lymphotropic Papovavirus in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of an Immunocompromised Rhesus Macaque

A lymphotropic papovavirus (LPV) archetypal regulatory region was amplified from DNA from the blood of an immunocompromised rhesus monkey. We believe this is the first nonserological evidence of LPV infection in rhesus monkeys.
