Primate malarias: Diversity, distribution and insights for zoonotic Plasmodium [PDF]
One Health, 2015 Protozoans within the genus Plasmodium are well-known as the causative agents of malaria in humans. Numerous Plasmodium species parasites also infect a wide range of non-human primate hosts in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide.

Microbiome Studies in Non-human Primates [PDF]
Current HIV/AIDS Reports, 2021 Observations of differing bacterial, intestinal microbiomes in people living with HIV have propelled interest in contributions of the microbiome to HIV disease. Non-human primate (NHP) models of HIV infection provide a controlled setting for assessing contributions of the microbiome by standardizing environmental confounders.

Gorillas’ (Gorilla g. gorilla) knowledge of conspecifics’ affordances: intraspecific social tool use for food acquisition [PDF]
, 2020 The use of tools, long thought to be uniquely human, has now been observed in other animal taxa including several species of birds, non-primate mammals as well as some non-human primate species.

The non‐human primate model of tuberculosis [PDF]
Journal of Medical Primatology, 2012 AbstractNon‐human primates (NHPs) are used to model human disease owing to their remarkably similar genomes, physiology, and immune systems. Recently, there has been an increased interest in modeling tuberculosis (TB) in NHPs. Macaques are susceptible to infection with different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), producing the full spectrum ...

Cytokine expression in malaria-infected non-human primate placentas [PDF]
, 2012 Malaria parasites are known to mediate the induction of inflammatory immune responses at the maternal-foetal interface during placental malaria (PM) leading to adverse consequences like pre-term deliveries and abortions.

Herpersvirusis in non-human primates [PDF]
Scientific Electronic Archives, 2016 Many types of herpesviruses have been found in different non-human primate species causing subclinical or mild infection on its natural hosts and more severe infections, when transmited to other species. The herpesviruses’ Family is composed by three subfamilies: Alphaherpesvirinae, Betaherpesvirinae e Gammaherpesvirinae.

Neuroimaging of Non-Human Primates [PDF]
The Open Neuroimaging Journal, 2011 Welcome to this special issue of the Open Neuroimaging Journal which focuses on neuroimaging studies of non-human primates (NHPs) as presented by leaders in the field. NHPs are important animal models because of their genetic, ontogenic, and physiological similarities to humans.

Non-human primates and Leishmania immunity
Cytokine: X, 2020 In the context of infectious diseases, non-human primates (NHP) provide the best animal models of human diseases due to the close phylogenetic relationship and the similar physiology and anatomical systems. Herein, we summarized the contribution of NHP models for understanding the immunity to leishmaniases, which are a group of diseases caused by ...

The Situational Structure of Primate Beliefs [PDF]
, 2016 This paper develops the situational model of primate beliefs from the Prior-Lurz line of thought. There is a strong skepticism concerning primate beliefs in the analytic tradition which holds that beliefs have to be propositional and non-human animals do
