Serological evidence for Saint Louis encephalitis virus in free-ranging New World monkeys and horses within the upper Paraná River basin region, Southern Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014
Introduction Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) primarily occurs in the Americas and produces disease predominantly in humans. This study investigated the serological presence of SLEV in nonhuman primates and horses from southern Brazil.

Fetal globin expression in New World monkeys. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
Reverse phase chromatography of the globin chains of adult, newborn, and fetal erythrocytes from three species of New World monkeys (Cebus apella, Aotus azarae, and Callithrix jacchus) representing three of the seven platyrrhine clades showed that gamma-globin expression was fetal in these animals.

Nutritional and health status of woolly monkeys

, 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.

Apocrine glands in the eyelid of primates contribute to the ocular host defense [PDF]

, 2004
Apocrine glands of Moll are regular components of primate eyelids. We studied the distribution and localization of these glands in three different primate species, the common marmoset, the rhesus monkey, and the hamadryas baboon.

Comprehensive characterization of evolutionary conserved breakpoints in four New World Monkey karyotypes compared to Chlorocebus aethiops and Homo sapiens

Heliyon, 2015
Comparative cytogenetic analysis in New World Monkeys (NWMs) using human multicolor banding (MCB) probe sets were not previously done. Here we report on an MCB based FISH-banding study complemented with selected locus-specific and heterochromatin ...

Evolution of the hepcidin gene in primates

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Hepcidin/LEAP-1 is an iron regulatory hormone originally identified as an antimicrobial peptide. As part of a systematic analysis of the evolution of host defense peptides in primates, we have sequenced the orthologous gene from 14 species of ...

Not knowing what one knows: A Meaningful failure of metacognition in capuchin monkeys [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2018
Metacognition encompasses the processes of monitoring representational and perceptual states and controlling information-gathering behaviors. Metacognition is considered one of humans’ most sophisticated abilities, and it has been a growing area of focus

Loss of olfactory receptor genes coincides with the acquisition of full trichromatic vision in primates.

PLoS Biology, 2004
Olfactory receptor (OR) genes constitute the molecular basis for the sense of smell and are encoded by the largest gene family in mammalian genomes. Previous studies suggested that the proportion of pseudogenes in the OR gene family is significantly ...

Characterisation of the hepatitis B virus cross-species transmission pattern via Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptides from 11 New World and Old World primate species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The hepatic Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP in man, Ntcp in animals) is the high-affinity receptor for the hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis D (HDV) viruses.
