Ependymal Cyst in the Cerebrum of an African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2011
A focal lesion was detected by magnetic resonance imaging in the right caudal occipital lobe of the cerebrum in an African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops). Neurological signs were not observed in this animal. At necropsy examination, an 8mm wedge-shaped intracranial cavity was found, which apparently did not communicate with the ventricles ...

The Toxicity of Soman in the African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops)

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2007
ABSTRACT This study determines soman toxicity in African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) and is the first step in exploring the suitability of this species as a model for nerve agent studies. Male African green monkeys were surgically implanted with telemetry devices to monitor electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) activity.

Nonketotic hyperglycinemia in captive‐bred Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) with cataracts

Journal of Medical Primatology, 2019
AbstractBackgroundNonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare metabolic disorder that is characterized by high levels of glycine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in humans. In this study, total congenital cataract captive‐bred Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) that are hyperglycinemic were screened to identify mutations in Bola type 3 (BOLA3 ...

The ultrastructure of the Sertoli cell of the vervet monkey, Chlorocebus aethiops

Tissue and Cell, 2010
The ultrastructure of the Sertoli cell of the vervet monkey was studied using both scanning and transmission electron microscopic techniques. SEM micrographs revealed perforated sleeve-like processes which encased mature elongated spermatids which are ready for spermiation. TEM micrographs showed a large Sertoli cell nucleus characterized by many lobes

Cataracts in a laboratory colony of African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)*

Journal of Medical Primatology, 2005
Abstract:  Three cases of spontaneous cataracts were investigated in a colony of African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops). Clinical, pathological and microbiological investigations were conducted in two cases of juvenile cataracts and in one case of a mature cataract.

The effect of hyperglycinemic treatment in captive-bred Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)

Metabolic Brain Disease, 2019
Nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a neuro-metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the glycine cleavage system (GCS) and glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1). A case of atypical late onset of NKH has been reported in a colony of captive-bred Vervet monkeys.

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 ...

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.
