Ovarian neoplasms represent 6% of all cancers in women . Fifteen rhesus macaques (RMs) were SIV challenged intra-rectally weekly and viral loads were monitored weekly until SIV acquisition. The rhesus, because of its response to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), is widely recognized as the best animal model for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In the rhesus macaque, dysgerminoma, teratoma, granulosa cell tumor, ovarian epithelial tumors, choriocarcinoma, and a placental site trophoblastic tumor have been reported, with teratomas reported most commonly [2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14–20]. They live in active, noisy troops that can include up to 200 animals. Antibody-like molecules were evaluated with potent simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) neutralizing properties (immunoadhesins) that were delivered by a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector in the SIV-infected rhesus macaque model. Challenge doses began at 1:5000 (4TCID 50 ) and were repeated 3 times before increasing by half a log every 3 weeks, until SIV infection occurred.

The rhesus macaque's typical diet includes roots, fruit, seeds, and bark, but also insects and small animals.

To address this issue, in situ hybridization was used to examine SIV replication in multiple lobes of lung from rhesus …

The extent to which simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication in lung tissues contributes to the pool of viruses replicating during acute infection is incompletely understood.
