Population Viability Analysis to Inform Reintroduction Decisions for a Group‐Living Primate, the Barbary Macaque

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 34-47, February 2026.
We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Social Behaviours and Networks of Vervet Monkeys Are Influenced by Gastrointestinal Parasites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Substantial research has shown that while some parasite infections can be fatal to hosts, most infections are sub-clinical and non-lethal. Such sub-clinical infections can nonetheless have negative consequences for the long-term fitness of the host such ...

Comparison of Laser Doppler Flowmetry With Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound to Approximate Placental Microvascular Blood Flow in the African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus)

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The ability to study in vivo microvascular flow within the placenta is limited. We sought to compare two techniques for evaluation of placental perfusion in a translational nonhuman primate model. Methods We measured placental microvascular perfusion in six pregnant African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) using both ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

A Flavonoid‐Rich Extract of Scoparia dulcis L. Exhibits Antiviral Activity against Herpes Virus Type 1

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and anti‐herpetic activity of the hydroethanolic extract from Scoparia dulcis L. aerial parts. Mass spectrometry revealed the presence of 15 compounds. The extract showed low cytotoxicity in Vero cells, maintaining over 80% viability at concentrations up to 250 µg/mL.

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.
