β 2 -microglobulin in neotropical primates (Platyrrhini)

Immunogenetics, 1998
Nucleotide sequences for the three exons of the beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) gene (B2m) were determined for 135 animals representing 37 species and all 16 genera of neotropical primates (Platyrrhini). Twenty-eight different nucleotide sequences, encoding for 26 different proteins, were obtained.

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

Identification of Bacterial Infection in Neotropical Primates

Microbial Ecology, 2013
Emerging infectious diseases usually arise from wild animal populations. In the present work, we performed a screening for bacterial infection in natural populations of New World primates. The blood cell bulk DNAs from 181 individuals of four Platyrrhini genera were PCR screened for eubacterial 16S rRNA genes.

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 ...

Special issue: Comparative biogeography of Neotropical primates

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015
New research presented in this special issue of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution on the "Phylogeny and Biogeography of Neotropical Primates" greatly improves our understanding of the evolutionary history of the New World monkeys and provides insights into the multiple platyrrhine radiations, diversifications, extinctions, and recolonizations that ...

Alpha satellite DNA in neotropical primates (Platyrrhini)

Chromosoma, 1994
The alpha satellite DNA of Old World (catarrhine) primates usually consists of similar, but not identical, ca. 170 bp sequences repeated tandemly hundreds to thousands of times. The 170 bp monomeric repeats are components of higher-order repeats, many of which are chromosome specific.

DNA fingerprinting in three species of neotropical primates

American Journal of Primatology, 1996
DNA fingerprinting allows the simultaneous detection of a large number of hypervariable loci consisting of highly polymorphic tandem repeat units that are extensively dispersed in the genome. With the 33.6 human minisatellite probe, hypervariable fragments were detected, for the first time, in the genome of three different species of wild-caught ...

Some oxyurids (nematoda) from neotropical primates

Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde, 1964
1. A new species, Trypanoxyuris (Paraoxyuronema) tamarini, is described from Tamarinus nigricollis in Peru and T. (T.) sceleratus is reported from Saimiri sciurea in Peru and Colombia; T. (T.) lagothricis from Lagothrix cana and T. (T.) interlabiata from Aotes trivirgatus—both in Peru.

Behavioural Thermoregulation in a Small Neotropical Primate

Ethology, 2014
AbstractThe maintenance of body temperature in endothermic animals imposes considerable metabolic costs that vary with air temperature fluctuations. To minimise these costs, endotherms can adopt certain behaviours to adjust the pattern of heat transfer between their bodies and the environment.
