Abstract
Simian immunodeficiency virus has been shown to cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in macaque monkeys. Data gathered from clinical examination and fundus photography have shown that the lentivirus is capable of the induction of choroidal lesions and retinal hemorrhages in the macaque. These findings demonstrate the potential value of the macaque monkey eye as a model of the retinal pathology routinely seen in human AIDS patients.
