    Information on B-virus meningoencephalitis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Screening and Imaging

    Old World macaque monkeys (rhesus and cynomologus monkeys) are the natural hosts for this virus. In monkeys, the effects of B-virus infection are minimal, e.g., oral ulcerations. B-virus infection is an occupational hazard for workers who handle macaque monkeys. Approximately 40-50 human B-virus infections have been reported in the world's medical literature with a case-fatality rate of about 70%. [Chin, p. 261-2]
