Mycobacterium leprae genomes from naturally infected nonhuman primates.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Leprosy is caused by the bacterial pathogens Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Apart from humans, animals such as nine-banded armadillos in the Americas and red squirrels in the British Isles are naturally infected with M.

Fine-Scale Spatial Organization of Face and Object Selectivity in the Temporal Lobe: Do Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Optical Imaging, and Electrophysiology Agree? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The spatial organization of the brain's object and face representations in the temporal lobe is critical for understanding high-level vision and cognition but is poorly understood.

General Anesthetic Exposure in the Management of Pediatric Subglottic Stenosis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study describes time spent under general anesthesia (GA) and number of procedures in children with subglottic stenosis (SGS) treated with endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD), laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR), or both. Methods Children treated for SGS surgically between November 2014 through August 2020 were included. Patients

Stable isotope evidence of meat eating and hunting specialization in adult male chimpanzees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Observations of hunting and meat eating in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), suggest that among primates, regular inclusion of meat in the diet is not a characteristic unique to Homo.

From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Engineering Fuels the Epidemic of Preventable Disease

open access: yesThe Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are engineered to heighten reward and accelerate delivery of reinforcing ingredients, driving compulsive consumption and disrupting appetite regulation. This is a growing challenge for health policy. UPFs share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry, such as dose optimization and hedonic ...

Posthuman Spaces of Relation: Literary Responses to the Species Boundary in Primate Literature

open access: yesRelations, 2016
This article aims at showing how contemporary literary responses to human-nonhuman primate relationships can be as valid a form of thinking about the animal as the philosophical and scientific roots of movements such as the Great Ape Project ...

Nonhuman primates as models of hemispheric specialization [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The present chapter concerns the issue of hemispheric specialization for perceptual and cognitive processes. In spite of a long-lasting view that only humans are lateralized (e.g., Warren, 1980), there is now strong documentation for anatomical ...

Using the nonhuman primate model of HCMV to guide vaccine development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The natural history of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is inextricably associated with mucosal surfaces. The vast preponderance of primary infections occur following mucosal exposure to infectious virions, and the high seroprevalence of HCMV throughout the ...

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Foraging Cognition in Nonhuman Primates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In terms of total biomass, primates are very successful vertebrates in most undisturbed tropical forests (Chapman et al., 1999a; Fleagle & Reed, 1996). Many primate species are forest dwellers, and the forest habitat is likely to have had a major impact on primate evolution.
