Serological evidence of orthopoxvirus infection in neotropical primates in Brazil [PDF]
The genus Orthopoxvirus (OPXV) of the family Poxviridae comprises several viruses that are capable of infecting a wide range of hosts. One of the most widespread OPXVs is the Vaccinia virus (VACV), which circulates in zoonotic cycles in South America ...

Comparative Immunopathology of Toxoplasma gondii Natural Infections in Marmosets (Callithrix spp.) and Howler Monkeys (Alouatta spp.), Brazil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Neotropical primates (NTPs) present varying susceptibility to toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii, but their immunopathogenic responses remain poorly understood. Materials and Methods Local immune responses were characterized in the liver, spleen, and central nervous system (CNS) of 50 naturally infected NTPs (31 Callithrix ...

First case of albinism registered for Ateles chamek (Humboldt, 1812) [PDF]
Albinism is rarely documented amongst Neotropical mammals, especially in primates, for which only a few cases have been reported. In this paper, we report the first case of albinism in a wild black-faced black spider monkey

Trends in the use of studbooks in captive breeding programs of neotropical primates
: Studbooks are databases of individual genealogical records of ex situ populations. Since they are an essential tool in management and planning, we conducted a search of studbook reports to explore historical trends in breeding programs of Neotropical ...

Phylogenetic congruence between Neotropical primates and plants is driven by frugivory
Seed dispersal benefits plants and frugivores, and potentially drives co-evolution, with consequences to diversification evidenced for, e.g., primates. Evidence for macro-coevolutionary patterns in multi-specific, plant-animal mutualisms is scarce,

Vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi among captive Neotropical primates in a Brazilian zoo. [PDF]
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.
