View in English: Simian virus 40
Virus símico 40
SV40 (por sus siglas en inglés). Virus que infecta a algunos tipos de monos. También puede infectar a los seres humanos y se encontró en algunas vacunas contra la poliomielitis que se probaron a principio de la década de 1960. Si bien se demostró que el virus causa cáncer en animales de laboratorio, no hay pruebas de que causa cáncer en las personas. También se llama SV40.
