The genome of the vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) [PDF]

Genome Research, 2015
We describe a genome reference of the African green monkey or vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops). This member of the Old World monkey (OWM) superfamily is uniquely valuable for genetic investigations of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), for which it is the most abundant natural host species, and of a wide range of health-related phenotypes assessed in ...

A case of gallstones in an African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) [PDF]

Primate Biology, 2017
Abstract. Spontaneous cholelithiasis was found in a male African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) at necropsy. Choleliths varied in size, shape and colour. Gallstones were analysed using accepted analytical methods. Results showed that the gallstones were composed of cholesterol and protein in varying proportions.

A web-based brain atlas of the vervet monkey, Chlorocebus aethiops [PDF]

NeuroImage, 2011
Vervet monkeys are a frequently studied animal model in neuroscience research. Although equally distantly related to humans, the ancestors of vervets diverged from those of macaques and baboons more than 11 million years ago, antedating the divergence of the ancestors of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas.

Multiple adenomas of the thyroid gland in an African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops)

Primate Biology, 2023
Abstract. Two cystadenomas and one solid adenoma of the thyroid gland in a 27-year-old female African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) are described here. Histologically, the solid adenoma was classified as a well-defined solid follicular adenoma of microfollicular type.

Feeding Habits and Activity Patterns of Grivet Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops L.) in Batiero Church Forest, Northern Ethiopia

International Journal of Zoology, 2023
Grivet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) are restricted to fragmented forests where food and space are limiting factors. The study investigated the feeding and activity patterns of grivet monkeys in Batiero Church Forest, northern Ethiopia, using focal and ...

Positive reinforcement training: a tool for care and management of captive vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) [PDF]

Animal Welfare, 2015
AbstractIn modern zoos, training should be an integral component of the animal care and management. The benefits of training include the opportunity for positive interactions with caretakers. This study was carried out with a group of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) housed at the Garda Zoological Park, Italy.

Determinants of Paternity Success in a Group of Captive Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) [PDF]

International Journal of Primatology, 2010
Paternity success of high-ranking primate males is affected by the number of males and the number of fertile females and their cycle synchrony. Female vervets in the wild show strong reproductive seasonality and do not advertise the ovulatory period with conspicuous signals or behavior.

Pheochromocytoma in Old World Primates ( Macaca mulatta and Chlorocebus aethiops ) [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2016
Pheochromocytoma, a rarely reported adrenal gland neoplasm in Old World primates, was diagnosed in 5 rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta) and 2 African green monkeys ( Chlorocebus aethiops) from 3 research institutions. Age and sex were available for 6 primates. Two males and 4 females were affected, ranging in age from 9 to 31 years.
