A severe viral infection causing high fever, bleeding from mucous membranes, vomiting and often death.<\/p>\n
Viral disease of vervet (green) monkeys transmitted to humans by contact with the infected animal, especially blood or tissues used in laboratory studies. In humans it causes a serious and often fatal illness characterized by fever, rash, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. There is no treatment, but antiserum and measures to reduce blood loss are sometimes effective.<\/p>\n
A virus disease of vervet (green) monkeys transmitted to man by contact (usually in laboratories) with blood or tissues from an infected animal. Symptoms include fever, malaise, severe headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and bleeding from mucous membranes in the mouth and elsewhere. Treatment with antiserum and measures to reduce the bleeding are sometimes effective.<\/p>\n
A viral infection also known as green monkey disease, or vervet monkey disease, because the first recorded human cases acquired their infection from monkeys of this genus.
