Reactive mesothelial hyperplasia mimicking mesothelioma in an African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops).

Primate biology, 2020
A spontaneous reactive mesothelial hyperplasia occurred in a female, 15.7-year-old African green monkey (grivet; Chlorocebus aethiops). At necropsy, massive effusions were found in the abdomen, the thorax, and the pericardium. Additionally, multiple small, beige-gray nodules were detected on the serosal surfaces of the abdominal organs ...

Cercopithecid Monkeys From the Pleistocene Markaytoli Site at Ledi‐Geraru, Afar Region, Ethiopia

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Cercopithecid monkeys are ubiquitous across much of sub‐Saharan Africa today, where they contribute much to the ecological and taxonomic diversity seen in modern African primate communities. Plio‐Pleistocene assemblages from eastern Africa also preserve a rich cercopithecid fossil record, albeit one dominated by papionins and by ...

Validation of Immunoassays for Total Thyroxine and Free Thyroxine and Age and Sex‐Related Variation in Thyroid Hormone Serum Concentrations in Orangutans (Pongo sp.)

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).

IL-6 is Upregulated in Late-Stage Disease in Monkeys Experimentally Infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013
The management of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is constrained by lack of simple-to-use diagnostic, staging, and treatment tools. The search for novel biomarkers is, therefore, essential in the fight against HAT.

Analysis of prostate-specific antigen transcripts in chimpanzees, cynomolgus monkeys, baboons, and African green monkeys. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The function of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is to liquefy the semen coagulum so that the released sperm can fuse with the ovum. Fifteen spliced variants of the PSA gene have been reported in humans, but little is known about alternative splicing in ...

Radiographic Assessment of Spinal Degeneration in Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops): Prevalence, Patterns, and Relevance to Primate Aging Models

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Radiographic evaluation of 70 vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) maintained under human care revealed a high prevalence of age‐related spinal degeneration. Osteophytes emerged earliest and most prominently in the lumbar region. These region‐specific patterns parallel those reported in other catarrhine primates, supporting C.

No evidence for sylvatic cycles of chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses in African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) on St. Kitts, West Indies

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
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.
