Zika virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques causes placental dysfunction and immunopathology

Nature Communications, 2018
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of fetal growth restriction and fetal central nervous system malformations, which are outcomes broadly referred to as the Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS).

Neonatal Imitation in Rhesus Macaques [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2006
The emergence of social behaviors early in life is likely crucial for the development of mother-infant relationships. Some of these behaviors, such as the capacity of neonates to imitate adult facial movements, were previously thought to be limited to humans and perhaps the ape lineage. Here we report the behavioral responses of infant rhesus macaques (

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...

Comparative ABO blood group and rhesus factor distribution between homogenous and heterogenous populations in South Eastern Nigeria

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: The ABO blood group and Rhesus (Rh) factor remain the most important blood group in transfusion medicine. Knowledge of ABO and rhesus blood group distribution within a population is indispensable for transfusion medicine, clinical and ...

A rhesus macaque model of Asian-lineage Zika virus infection

Nature Communications, 2016
Infection with Asian-lineage Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome and fetal abnormalities, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Animal models of infection are thus urgently needed. Here we show that rhesus

Endometriosis in Rhesus Monkeys

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 1984
Endometriosis was present in five out of six Rhesus monkeys who had to be sacrificed because of disease in a colony of 90. The monkeys lost appetite and became constipated. The abdomen was distended and often a pelvic mass could be palpated. At autopsy, 300-500 ml of blood-stained fluid was found in the abdomen together with intestinal or pelvic ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

TLR7 agonists induce transient viremia and reduce the viral reservoir in SIV-infected rhesus macaques on antiretroviral therapy

Science Translational Medicine, 2018
SIV-infected rhesus macaques on antiretroviral therapy experienced a reduction in the SIV reservoir after treatment with TLR7 agonists. Emptying the reservoir Antiretroviral therapy can halt HIV-1 replication but cannot clear the hidden reservoirs of ...
