Case Report: Lymphosarcoma in Adult African Green Monkeys (Chlorocebus Aethiops)

2014
The clinical observations and pathological manifestations of lymphosarcoma in two African green monkeys are described. Monkeys had been caught from the wild. Prior to the development of neoplasms one monkey had been experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as a model of human trypanosomiasis and subsequently treated with a ...

Variation in vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops) hair cortisol concentrations reflects ecological disturbance by humans

Primates, 2015
Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) often live in close proximity to humans. Vervets are known to raid crops, homes and gardens in suburban areas leading to human-vervet conflict. In general, primate groups with access to human foods experience increased population densities and intra-group aggression.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 genetic screening using the vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops) model

Journal of Medical Primatology, 2022
AbstractBackgroundThe proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene has come to prominence due to its reported function in the clearance of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol. The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) was utilized to study the genetics of PCSK9 gene.MethodSixteen vervet monkeys were selected to screen for possible PCSK9 ...

Scratching Our Heads: Rethinking Social Anxiety in Vervets (Chlorocebus aethiops)

International Journal of Primatology, 2010
Numerous conflicting results exist in the primate literature regarding the role of dominant individuals in creating conditions of social anxiety. Self-directed behaviors (SDB) have been used as an indicator of increased anxiety in primates to examine the effects of social stimuli such as dominance and association.

Characteristics and regulation of the ovarian cycle in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)

American Journal of Primatology, 2007
AbstractThis study was designed to evaluate the timecourse of ovarian and pituitary endocrine events throughout the menstrual cycle in the vervet monkey, and whether circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) or the uterus regulates the functional lifespan of the vervet corpus luteum. Daily saphenous blood samples were collected from adult females (1) during

Hematological changes in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) during eight months' adaptation to captivity

American Journal of Primatology, 2007
AbstractThis study investigated fluctuations in hematological values of 50 wild‐caught vervet monkeys (African green monkeys, grivets, Chlorocebus aethiops) during habituation to captivity. The monkeys were categorized into four groups according to age and sex viz adult males, adult females, juvenile males, and juvenile females.

NOVO PROTOCOLO DE SEDAÇÃO EM CHLOROCEBUS AETHIOPS EM CATIVEIRO

RESUMO Chlorocebus aethiops é uma das espécies com alta proximidade filogenética aos seres humanos e que exigem uma contenção química adequada à espécie. Objetivou-se avaliar parâmetros fisiológicos e qualidade de sedação com o uso de cetamina (7,5 mg/kg), midazolam (0,3 mg/kg) e dexmedetomidina (0,015 mg/kg), e a recuperação após reversão com ...

Characterization of Spontaneous Preeclampsia in the African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus)

2021
Hypertensive pregnancy disorders are a major contribution to maternal and neonatal mortality worldwide. Two of these disorders, preeclampsia and chronic hypertension in pregnancy, affect up to 10% of all pregnancies. These hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with long-term, postnatal risk factors for both mother and offspring.

Contact with Human Facilities Appears to Enhance Technical Skills in Wild Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)

Folia Primatologica, 2011
Technical abilities of primates are typically tested in the laboratory. It has been argued that close contact between animals and humans may lead to an increase in skills due to an ‘enculturation’ of subjects. Here, we provide evidence that exposure to human facilities may improve wild vervet monkeys’ technical skills in a social learning task using ...
