Background It was suggested that Equine herpesvirus 9 (EHV‐9) could be transmitted to higher non‐human primates. Methods Four cynomolgus monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ) were inoculated with EHV‐9 by the nasal route. Results No abnormalities were observed pathologically, immunohistochemically, and genetically. Conclusions These findings indicate that cynomolgus monkeys are not susceptible to EHV‐9.
