Respiratory Animal Models in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) [PDF]
, 2014 Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are small non-human primates (NHPs) that are often used for respiratory research. Translational animal models of various pulmonary diseases in marmosets have been developed in favor of models in old world monkeys ...

The spinal cord of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Neuroscience Research, 2015 The marmoset spinal cord possesses all the characteristic features of a typical mammalian spinal cord, but with some interesting variation in the levels of origin of the limb nerves. In our study Nissl and ChAT sections of the each segment of the spinal cord in two marmosets (Ma5 and Ma8), we found that the spinal cord can be functionally and ...

Mechanistic refinement of the common marmoset model for multiple sclerosis [PDF]
, 2012 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It is thought that MS is an autoimmune disease, where a person’s immune system reacts to its own body, namely the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve

Paracellular nutrient absorption in a gum-feeding new world primate, the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus [PDF]
, 2007 The common marmoset is one of the few callitrichid species that is not threatened or endangered in the wild, and is widely used in biomedical research, yet relatively little is understood about its digestive physiology.

The common marmoset genome provides insight into primate biology and evolution [PDF]
We report the whole-genome sequence of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). The 2.26-Gb genome of a female marmoset was assembled using Sanger read data (6×) and a whole-genome shotgun strategy.

Gongylonematiasis in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).
Laboratory animal science, 1996 Two cases of gongylonematiasis in common marmosets of two research facilities in Germany are reported. The helminthiasis was transmitted from colony A to colony B by one infected female and within colony B by cockroaches (Blatella germanica). Four of 40 cockroaches examined in colony B were infected with rhabditiform larvae.

A Complete Genome for the Common Marmoset
Abstract The common marmoset is a New World monkey (NWM) commonly used as a model organism to investigate questions in primate evolution and human disease, including Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders.

Did the Common Marmoset Self-Domesticate? [PDF]
, 2016 Domesticated animals share a distinctive set of traits not observed in their wild ancestors. Referred to as the “domestication syndrome” (DS), these traits are considered the byproduct of selection against aggression.
