AB The recent spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) is alarming due to its association with birth defects. Though the natural reservoir of ZIKV remains poorly defined, the virus was first described in a captive “sentinel” macaque in Africa. Here, we examined blood from 239 wild African monkeys and found variable seropositivity.
