International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Sucking lice live in intimate association with their hosts and often display a high degree of host specificity. The present study investigated sucking lice of the genus Lemurpediculus from six mouse lemur (Microcebus) and two dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus ...

Resveratrol metabolism in a non-human primate, the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) is a non-human primate used to study the ageing process. Resveratrol is a polyphenol that may increase lifespan by delaying age-associated pathologies.

Volatile Urinary Signals of Two Nocturnal Primates, Microcebus murinus and M. lehilahytsara
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mouse lemurs are small, nocturnal, arboreal solitary foragers and are endemic primates of Madagascar. This lifestyle and their high predation risk can explain why mouse lemurs rely heavily on olfaction for intraspecific communication.

The gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) as a model for early primate brain evolution.
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2021 The gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), one of the world's smallest primates, is thought to share a similar ecological niche and many anatomical traits with early euprimates.

A review on ocular findings in mouse lemurs: potential links to age and genetic background [PDF]
Primate Biology, 2017 Mouse lemurs, the world's smallest primates, inhabit forests in Madagascar. They are nocturnal, arboreal and dependent on vision for their everyday lives. In the last decades, the grey mouse lemur became increasingly important for biomedical research,

Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Bilateral Spontaneous Ovarian Hemorrhage in a 7-Year-Old Female Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegata). [PDF]
Vet Radiol UltrasoundABSTRACT A 7‐year‐old female intact, black‐and‐white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) presented for acute anorexia, lethargy, and abnormal behavior. Initial radiographs were concerning for gastrointestinal ileus. Abdominal ultrasonography identified bilateral periovarian masses and a moderate volume of echogenic peritoneal effusion; no definitive blood

Micro-MRI study of cerebral aging: ex vivo detection of hippocampal subfield reorganization, microhemorrhages and amyloid plaques in mouse lemur primates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mouse lemurs are non-human primate models of cerebral aging and neurodegeneration. Much smaller than other primates, they recapitulate numerous features of human brain aging, including progressive cerebral atrophy and correlation between regional atrophy
