Defining the ecological and evolutionary drivers of Plasmodium knowlesi transmission within a multi-scale framework

Malaria Journal, 2019
Plasmodium knowlesi is a zoonotic malaria parasite normally residing in long-tailed and pig-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis and Macaca nemestrina, respectively) found throughout Southeast Asia.

An ex vivo model of interactions between extracellular vesicles and peripheral mononuclear blood cells in whole blood

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2023
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be loaded with therapeutic cargo and engineered for retention by specific body sites; therefore, they have great potential for targeted delivery of biomolecules to treat diseases.

Amacrine cell inputs to OFF midget ganglion cells in macaque retina

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The goal of this study was to explain the findings from physiological studies that OFF midget ganglion cells had larger receptive field centers than expected from their dendritic field diameters. First, we confirmed that OFF mRGCs (OFF MGC) receive input from diffuse bipolar cells (DB) as well as OFF midget bipolar cells (FMB ...

Analysis of nuclear and organellar genomes of Plasmodium knowlesi in humans reveals ancient population structure and recent recombination among host-specific subpopulations.

PLoS Genetics, 2017
The macaque parasite Plasmodium knowlesi is a significant concern in Malaysia where cases of human infection are increasing. Parasites infecting humans originate from genetically distinct subpopulations associated with the long-tailed (Macaca ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Genotyping of TRIM5 locus in northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina), a primate species susceptible to Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 infection

Retrovirology, 2009
Background The pig-tailed macaques are the only Old World monkeys known to be susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. We have previously reported that the TRIM5-Cyclophilin A (TRIMCyp) fusion in pig-tailed macaques (Macaca ...

Habitat connectivity shapes biodiversity outcomes in Indonesia's community‐managed forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings suggest that community‐managed forests established within predominantly forested areas can make a meaningful contribution to area‐based conservation, including recognition as Other Effective Area‐based Conservation Measures (OECMs). In community‐managed forests established in more modified production landscapes, targeted restoration and ...

Detection of Antibody to Burkholderia pseudomallei in Captive and Wild Macaquesin West Java and Bali, Indonesia

Microbiology Indonesia, 2018
Melioidosis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by the saprophytic Burkholderia pseudomallei, which infects human and a wide range of animal species. Melioidosis may lead to septicemia and pneumonia in human patients, which can be fatal if the patient

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 383-400, August 2026.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...
