BACKGROUND: Differential pathogenicity has been observed in cynomolgus and rhesus macaques following primate lentivirus infection. However, little is known about the comparative susceptibility of pig-tailed macaques to lentivirus infection and diseases. METHODS: We compared the in vivo infectivity and pathogenicity of a CCR5-tropic SHIV(SF162 P4) after intravenous, intravaginal or intrarectal inoculation in rhesus and pig-tailed macaques. Plasma viral load, peripheral blood CD4(+) T cell counts and clinical signs were monitored. RESULTS: Both rhesus and pig-tailed macaques are similarly susceptible to SHIV(SF162 P4) infection by intravenous and mucosal routes. However, infection was significantly more robust in pig-tailed macaques than in rhesus, resulting in persistent viremia in 9/21 pig-tails vs. 2/24 rhesus (P < 0.013) and severe CD4(+) T-cell depletion in 2/21 pig-tails (vs. none in rhesus). CONCLUSIONS: Together with earlier observations, our findings underscore the importance of considering host genetic and immunological factors when comparing vaccine efficacy in different macaque species.
