PCR results were positive from post-necropsy liver and lung tissues as well as from sera, conjunctival swabs, oral swabs, and nasal swabs collected at time of quarantine in 8
different affected monkeys, but were negative from a throat swab from an asymptomatic animal whose other 5 cage mates had become sick.
Although TMAdV was found to be highly divergent from other adenoviruses,
different isolates of TMAdV from 3
affected titi
monkeys were remarkably conserved, sharing 100 % identity across the full - length hexon gene (data not shown).
