Good colony management is associated with monitoring of animals for infectious agents. Of major current concern are B virus and simian AIDS (SAIDS) viruses. However, other viral agents frequently cause serious disease outbreaks which can be avoided if their presence is detected sufficiently early. The recent development of a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic test system, i.e., the dot immunobinding assay (DIA) permits the monitoring of a colony for many of the viruses that pose problems. By employing battery type testing using a panel of appropriate viral antigens, investigators are able to detect the increased presence of viral agents of concern and take necessary measures to prevent extension of the problem.
