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

The prion protein and New World primate phylogeny
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2004 The PrP C prion protein contains 250 amino acids with some variation among species and is expressed in several cell types. PrP C is converted to PrP Sc by a post-translational process in which it acquires amino acid sequences of three-dimensional ...

Inter- and intra-specific gene-density-correlated radial chromosome territory arrangements are conserved in Old World monkeys [PDF]
, 2005 Recently it has been shown that the gene-density correlated radial distribution of human 18 and 19 homologous chromosome territories (CTs) is conserved in higher primates in spite of chromosomal rearrangements that occurred during evolution.

A perspective on color vision in platyrrhine monkeys [PDF]
, 1960 Studies carried out over the past two decades show that many platyrrhine (New World) monkeys have polymorphic color vision. This condition results from the sorting of allelic versions of X-chromosome cone opsin genes at a single gene site, yielding a ...

Nutritional and health status of woolly monkeys [PDF]
, 2008 Woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha and L. flavicauda) are threatened species in the wild and in captivity. Numerous zoological institutions have historically kept Lagothrix lagotricha spp., but only a few of them have succeeded in breeding populations.

Easy rider: monkeys learn to drive a wheelchair to navigate through a complex maze. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The neurological bases of spatial navigation are mainly investigated in rodents and seldom in primates. The few studies led on spatial navigation in both human and non-human primates are performed in virtual, not in real environments.
