Parasites of Neotropical Primates: A Review

International Journal of Primatology, 2018
The study of parasites is of great relevance to primatology given their ecological significance and their effects on primate demography, behavior, and evolution. Moreover, assessing the vulnerability of endangered species to parasitic infections is important in developing appropriate conservation strategies.

Redefining infections with trypanosomatids in Neotropical primates: Case study of the white-footed tamarin (Oedipomidas leucopus) [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl
Trypanosomes are blood parasites capable of infecting nearly any vertebrate. Many Neotropical primates frequently host trypanosomes and are considered potential reservoirs for Trypanosoma cruzi and other human-pathogenic trypanosomatids.

Zika Virus in Peridomestic Neotropical Primates, Northeast Brazil

EcoHealth, 2019
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne viral disease associated with fetal microcephaly and other central nervous system (CNS) symptomatology. It was first identified in a Rhesus macaque in Uganda in 1947 and later in humans (Zika fever). In 2015, ZIKV was notified in Northeast Brazil where it was associated with CNS alterations and with rapid epidemic ...

Emergence of Canine Distemper Virus in Brazilian Neotropical Primates

Journal of Medical Primatology
Canine distemper virus (CDV) has markedly expanded its known host range over the recent past decades. CDV infection has been reported in old‐world primates of the genus Macaca, with reports between the 1980s and 2008 in Japan and China.

Influence of landscape structure on previous exposure to Leptospira spp. and Brucella abortus in free‐living neotropical primates from southern Brazil

American Journal of Primatology, 2023
The environments in which neotropical primates live have been undergoing an intense fragmentation process, constituting a major threat to the species' survival and causing resource scarcity, social isolation, and difficulty in dispersal, leaving ...

Workshop Summary: Neotropical Primates in Biomedical Research [PDF]

ILAR Journal, 2011
This report summarizes presentations and discussions at an NIH-sponsored workshop on Neotropical Primates in Biomedical Research, held in September 2010. Neotropical primates (New World monkeys), with their smaller size, faster maturation, and shorter lifespans than Old World monkeys, are efficient models and present unique opportunities for studying ...

Causes of death in neotropical primates in Rio Grande do Sul State, Southern Brazil

Journal of medical primatology, 2021
Anthropogenic disturbances are the main threats to nonhuman primates conservation, and infectious diseases may also play a key role in primate population decline. This study aimed to determine the main causes of death in neotropical primates.

Sex chromosome systems in Neotropical Primates: What have we learnt so far from cytogenetics and genomics?

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022
Neotropical Primates (Platyrrhini) show great diversity in their life histories, ecology, behaviour and genetics. This diversity extends to their chromosome complements, both to autosomes and to sex chromosomes.

The primates of the Neotropics: genomes and chromosomes

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2004
The classification of neotropical primates has been controversial. Different arrangements have been proposed, depending on taxonomic criteria and on the traits selected for phylogenetic reconstructions. These include gross morphologic characters, karyotypic attributes and DNA sequence data of nuclear and mitochondrial genes and of repetitive genomic ...

Neotropical primate conservation

Journal of Human Evolution, 1989
Abstract The greatest threat to Neotropical primates is the loss of tropical forest for agriculture, ranching, commercial logging and hydroelectric projects. Hunting of primates for consumption or sale and live capture for the pet trade and for biomedical purposes is also a threat to certain species. Twenty-eight of the 76 Neotropical primate species
