Potentially zoonotic gastrointestinal nematodes co‐infecting free ranging non‐human primates in Kenyan urban centres

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
Background Natural infections with soil‐transmitted nematodes occur in non‐human primates (NHPs) and have the potential to cross primate‐species boundaries and cause diseases of significant public health concern.

The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Generation and characterization of two Vervet monkey induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from fibroblasts

Stem Cell Research
Cross-species comparisons using pluripotent stem cells from primates are crucial to better understand human biology, disease, and evolution. The Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) serves as an important primate model for such studies, and ...

A floristic description and utilisation of two home ranges by vervet monkeys in Loskop Dam Nature Reserve, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2010
The plant communities occurring in the home ranges of two vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) troops (referred to as the Donga and Picnic troops) were investigated as part of a comprehensive research project on the spatial and temporal patterns in ...

Human‐Carnivore Conflicts and Associated Economic Losses in Villages Adjacent to Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest, Western Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Conflicts between humans and carnivores were assessed in the nearby settlements of the Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest. This aimed to identify carnivorous species responsible for livestock depredations, quantify the economic losses resulting from depredations, and identify strategies used by nearby communities to prevent human‐carnivore conflicts in the ...

Comparison of gastrointestinal microbiota in golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellanae), green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus), and ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) by high throughput sequencing

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
High throughput sequencing of gut microbiota helps to understand the nutrition and health of the host. In this sense, it is an important tool for improving wildlife conservation and management.

Occurrence of Antibodies Anti‐Toxoplasma gondii in Captive Non‐Human Primates From Pernambuco State, Brazil

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife captive populations are important tools for threatened species conservation, and early identification of diseases must be prioritized. In this study, we test for the presence of anti‐Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in non‐human primates at a Zoo from Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Schistosoma mansoni infection in human and nonhuman primates in selected areas of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Background & objectives: The transmission of schistosomiasis, caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma, relies on freshwater snails that act as an intermediate host while human and other mammalian act as the definitive hosts. Many non-human primates
