Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa
Abstract Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications ...

Minipigs play an important role in biomedical research and have also been used as donor animals in xenotransplantation. To serve as a donor in xenotransplantation, the animals must be free of potential zoonotic viruses, bacteria and parasites.

Porcine cytomegalovirus/porcine roseolovirus (PCMV/PRV): A threat for xenotransplantation? [PDF]
The potential for a donor-derived transmission of porcine cytomegalovirus/porcine roseolovirus (PCMV/PRV) to the recipient has been recognized since pigs were considered candidate donors for xenotransplantation.

First virological and pathological study of Go¨ttingen Minipigs with Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS) [PDF]
Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS) is a well-known but rare complex of clinical signs affecting minipigs, which has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Clinically affected animals show acute appearance of red, exudating lesions across the spine.

Impact of porcine cytomegalovirus on long-term orthotopic cardiac xenotransplant survival [PDF]
Xenotransplantation using pig organs has achieved survival times up to 195 days in pig orthotopic heart transplantation into baboons. Here we demonstrate that in addition to an improved immunosuppressive regimen, non-ischaemic preservation with ...

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders in neuronal xenotransplanted macaques [PDF]
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoid proliferations that occur in the setting of depressed T-cell function due to immunosuppressive therapy used following solid organ transplantation, hematopoietic ...

Safety of Xenotransplantation: Development of screening methods and testing for porcine viruses [PDF]
Xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs might be a promising solution to overcome the shortage for organs suitable for allotransplantation. Because of several reasons, the pig is currently the favoured donor species.

Examining the potential for porcine-derived islet cells to harbour viral pathogens [PDF]
With an onus on safety in the potential use of porcine islet cells as a treatment for diabetes, the use of animals lacking exogenous pathogens is clearly important and multilevel screening strategies have been presented on testing animals and the product.
