Sperm Morphology in Neotropical Primates [PDF]
Animals, 2019 The morphological and morphometric characterization of spermatozoa has been used as a taxonomic and phylogenetic tool for different species of mammals. We evaluated and compared the sperm morphometry of five neotropical primate species: Alouatta caraya ...

Identification of Plasmodium spp. in Neotropical primates of Maranhense Amazon in Northeast Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In the Brazilian Amazon region, malaria caused by Plasmodium malariae is considered to be a zoonosis because of cross-transfer of the parasite between humans and Neotropical primates.

Vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi among captive Neotropical primates in a Brazilian zoo. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2016 Background: Neotropical primates are important sylvatic hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Infection is often subclinical, but severe disease has been described in both free-ranging and captive primates.

Safety and Immunogenicity of the Attenuated Yellow Fever Vaccine in Several Neotropical Primate Species [PDF]
VaccinesBackground/Objective: Yellow fever (YF) is an acute infectious disease caused by the yellow fever virus which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Neotropical primates are susceptible to infection, which is often presented as epizootic outbreaks. The aim was to

Seasonality, richness and prevalence of intestinal parasites of three neotropical primates (Alouatta seniculus, Ateles hybridus and Cebus versicolor) in a fragmented forest in Colombia [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Studies on parasites infecting non-human primates are essential to better understand the potential threat to humans of zoonoses transmission, particularly under the current processes of pervasive land use change and biodiversity loss.

SEROLOGICAL DETECTION OF HEPATITIS A VIRUS IN FREE-RANGING NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES (Sapajus spp., Alouatta caraya) FROM THE PARANÁ RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2016 Nonhuman primates are considered as the natural hosts of Hepatitis A virus (HAV), as well as other pathogens, and can serve as natural sentinels to investigate epizootics and endemic diseases that are of public health importance. During this study, blood
