Diversity of medium and large mammals in the Loka Abaya National Park, southern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
We evaluated the richness, diversity, and composition of the medium and large mammal community in the Loka Abaya National Park (LANP), southern Ethiopia, and how these parameters differ among four habitat types: wooded grassland, riverine forest, hilly ...

Levofloxacin cures experimental pneumonic plague in African green monkeys. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, is considered a potential bioweapon due to rapid lethality when delivered as an aerosol. Levofloxacin was tested for primary pneumonic plague treatment in a nonhuman primate model mimicking human disease.

Proteomic Signatures of Epigenetic Age in African Green Monkey Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
Epigenetic age together with plasma and CSF proteomes were quantified in a large number of African green monkeys. This study identified new accessible protein biomarkers (“clocks”) for understanding aging biology and to track changes in the rate of biological aging in a translationally relevant nonhuman primate model.

Comprehensive characterization of evolutionary conserved breakpoints in four New World Monkey karyotypes compared to Chlorocebus aethiops and Homo sapiens

Heliyon, 2015
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 ...

The Free‐Range Rock Cavy (Kerodon rupestris) Communicates the Urgency of a Threat Using Different Alarm Calls

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 10, Page 175-186, October 2025.
Rock cavy alarm calls are finely modulated by threat proximity. ABSTRACT This study examines whether rock cavies (Kerodon rupestris), which are social rodents, modulate their alarm calls in response to various threat contexts. Conducted across four sample areas within two study sites in the Brazilian Caatinga region, alarm calls were collected using ...

Integrating neuroinflammation biomarkers into the ATN(X) framework: Advances in Alzheimer's pathogenesis, diagnosis, and insights from non‐human primate models

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration (ATN) biomarker framework has greatly progressed the diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, recent research highlights neuroinflammation as an equally critical factor in AD pathology across humans, rodents, and non‐human primates (NHPs).

Bone marrow mononuclear cells versus mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue on bone healing in an Old World primate: can this be extrapolated to humans?

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
In veterinary medicine, the cell therapy is still unexplored and there are many unanswered questions that researchers tend to extrapolate to humans in an attempt to treat certain injuries.

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Marburg Virus Disease: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Given the recent deadly outbreaks of the Marburg virus (MARV), in early 2023 in Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea, and the most recent one in Rwanda in 2024, there has been renewed attention across Africa on the threat posed by the re‐emergence of MARV as a growing concern for public health.
