AB Serial neurologic examinations of six rhesus monkeys inoculated with a strain of kuru revealed complex clinical signs falling into two distinct syndromes. Experimental kuru in the rhesus monkey is different from the disease in man and to a lesser extent in the chimpanzee. Two factors are proposed to account for these observations: modification of the strain, and specific host characteristics.
