Delayed Disease in Cynomolgus Macaques Exposed to Ebola Virus by an Intranasal Route

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Ebola virus remains a significant public health concern due to high morbidity and mortality rates during recurrent outbreaks in endemic areas. Therefore, the development of countermeasures against Ebola virus remains a high priority, and requires the ...

Neonatal Imitation in Rhesus Macaques [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2006
The emergence of social behaviors early in life is likely crucial for the development of mother-infant relationships. Some of these behaviors, such as the capacity of neonates to imitate adult facial movements, were previously thought to be limited to humans and perhaps the ape lineage. Here we report the behavioral responses of infant rhesus macaques (

Gut microbiome is associated with personality traits of free-ranging Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Frontiers in Microbiology
Recent studies have emphasized that there is a strong link between the gut microbiome and the brain that affects social behavior and personality in animals. However, the interface between personality and the gut microbiome in wild primates remains poorly

Genomics Insights Into High-Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Sequential selection of economic good and action in medial frontal cortex of macaques during value-based decisions

eLife, 2015
Value-based decisions could rely either on the selection of desired economic goods or on the selection of the actions that will obtain the goods. We investigated this question by recording from the supplementary eye field (SEF) of monkeys during a ...

Male consort behavior is driven by female mate choice and receptive synchrony in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Global Ecology and Conservation
In group-living animals, males’ fighting abilities were usually mediated via dominance rank to sort males into a queue to access fertile females, especially in non-human primates. However, the correlation between male reproductive success and consortship,
