RESUMO
The Veterinary Biologics Information System is a project the main goal of which is to collect, analyze and manage data concerning registered veterinary biologics and biotechnological products employed to control animal diseases by the countries of the Americas. Data from each country was gathered by cataloguing each biological product on a questionnaire form. The collected data was then fed into an electronic data base system. A retrieval program was subsequently developed, allowing the user quick access to all data stored in the system. The system operates in English and Spanish and includes such information as the product name, registration number, ingredients, species for which the product is approved for use, the disease against which the product is used, names of manufacturers and distributors and other distinguishing characteristics of the product including expiry dates and withdrawal times. This computerized system, with on-line data bases which can be quickly updated, provides a dynamic answer to the question of timely information concerning veterinary biological products.

Three examples of spontaneous malignant lymphoma were observed in owl monkeys 23, 81, and 183 days after arrival in our laboratories. The pathological features of the disease were analogous to experimentally induced Herpesvirus saimiri lymphoma. H. saimiri was recovered from 2 animals (it was not attempted from one case) and one isolate was shown to reproduce characteristic H. saimiri malignant lymphoma. Each monkey originated in Peru in contrast to our usual source of owl monkeys which originate in Barranquilla, Colombia. Samples collected from owl monkeys in Peru did not reveal antibodies to H. saimiri nor were virus isolated from cocultured leukocytes. Squirrel monkeys in the same geographical location all carried H. saimiri. The observations indicate that H. saimiri lymphoma can occur as a spontaneous disease and that the virus can cross the same taxonomic lines in nature as in the laboratory.
