Neopterin as a Tool for Primate Ecoimmunology: Current Knowledge, Practical Application, and New Directions From Captivity to the Wild. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

Mapping the Space of Genomic Signatures [PDF]

, 2014
We propose a computational method to measure and visualize interrelationships among any number of DNA sequences allowing, for example, the examination of hundreds or thousands of complete mitochondrial genomes.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Comparative evaluation of acute phase proteins by C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in nonhuman primates and feline carnivores

Animal Diseases, 2022
The feasibility of a commercially available assay for C-reactive protein (CRP, CRP for humans: hCRP, and CRP for dogs: vCRP) and a trial reagent of serum amyloid A (SAA, vSAA for animals) were applied to the measurement of acute phase proteins in zoo ...

Comparative analysis of residual neurovirulence of vaccine and low attenuated rubella virus (Matonaviridae: Rubivirus: Rubella virus) strains in the experiments on the macaque rhesus (Macaca mulatta) monkeys

Вопросы вирусологии, 2022
Introduction. Rubella is currently an infection controlled by specific prophylaxis. Not only the right vaccine prophylaxis strategy and tactics, but also the use of effective and safe vaccine preparations is crucial for the elimination of this disease ...

The orobasal organ (of Ackerknecht): A bizarre structure of the mammalian oral cavity

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
In 1912, Ackerknecht discovered and described an epithelial invagination behind the lower medial incisors in different mammalian species. This rudimentary structure might be a vestiagial organ which lost its physiological function. Named after its discoverer the “orobasal organ of Ackerknecht” is widely unknown in the scientific world.

Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 14, Page 3888-3902, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these are often incomplete.

A comparative study of pre‐alpha islands in the entorhinal cortex from selected primates and in lissencephaly

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 530, Issue 4, Page 683-704, March 2022., 2022
The drawing at the top shows coronal sections through a gyrified human brain (at left) and a lissencephalic (‘’smooth,” i.e., lacking normal convolutions) human brain (at right). The lower half of the image shows exemplary images of primate brains with a strongly gyrified cortex (Pongo pygmaeus) versus a comparatively smooth brain surface (Perodicticus

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

Retrophylogenomics place tarsiers on the evolutionary branch of anthropoids [PDF]

, 2013
One of the most disputed issues in primate evolution and thus of our own primate roots, is the phylogenetic position of the Southeast Asian tarsier.

Comprehensive search filters for retrieving publications on nonhuman primates for literature reviews (filterNHP)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 83, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Comprehensive Nonhuman primate search filters (and those for taxonomic sub‐groups) for literature reviews can be accessed using the filterNHP R package or at https://filterNHP.dpz.eu. Abstract Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are widely studied across many scientific disciplines using a variety of techniques in diverse environments.
