The genome of the vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus). [PDF]
Warren, Wesley C. et al.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 ...

Comprehensive characterization of evolutionary conserved breakpoints in four New World Monkey karyotypes compared to Chlorocebus aethiops and Homo sapiens [PDF]
Comparative cytogenetic analysis in New World Monkeys (NWMs) using human multicolor banding (MCB) probe sets were not previously done. Here we report on an MCB based FISH-banding study complemented with selected locus-specific and heterochromatin ...

No evidence for sylvatic cycles of chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses in African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) on St. Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
Background Dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses (DENV, CHIKV and ZIKV) are transmitted in sylvatic transmission cycles between non-human primates and forest (sylvan) mosquitoes in Africa and Asia.

Joint MiRNA/mRNA expression profiling reveals changes consistent with development of dysfunctional corpus luteum after weight gain. [PDF]
Obese women exhibit decreased fertility, high miscarriage rates and dysfunctional corpus luteum (CL), but molecular mechanisms are poorly defined. We hypothesized that weight gain induces alterations in CL gene expression.

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

Spatial molecular characterization of early Alzheimer's disease neuropathology in aged Vervet monkeys [PDF]
Abstract Background Vervets (Chlorocebus aethiops) are non‐human primates in which we previously demonstrated brain amyloid b (Ab) deposition and phosphorylated tau associations with reduced brain volume, glucose metabolism, and gait speed but lacking true neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).
