Incidental Detection of Microfilariae in Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas From Central Amazon. [PDF]

Journal of medical primatology
Callitrichid primates Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas from urban accidents in peri-urban forests from Central Amazon were necropsied. Analysis of thoracic and peritoneal fluid showed that 56.5% (13/23) of S. bicolor individuals and 13.3% (4/30) of S. midas individuals had the presence of Dipetalonema and Mansonella (Tetrapetalonema) microfilariae.

Whole-Epiphysis Trabecular Bone in Tamarin Limbs Suggests Effects of Leaping Distance Alongside Non-Biomechanical Factors. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Beyond non‐biomechanical factors, the trabecular architecture of long bone epiphyses variably underlies functional adaptations to locomotor behavior. A recent study, characterizing tamarin trabecular bone using traditional metrics derived from Volumes of Interest (VOIs), identified a preliminary relationship with leaping distance ...

PriMath-The Role of Intrinsic Factors in Quantitative Cognitive Performance of Highly Social Primates. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study investigated the quantity discrimination ability in a highly social group of New World monkeys, with the goal of understanding how individual differences in performance due to group composition might be explained from an evolutionary perspective.

Molecular Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in Enclosures of African Primates (Papio papio and Papio hamadryas) at the Municipal Zoo of Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in animals and humans worldwide, attracting the attention of many researchers who, in recent decades, have identified the sources of Toxoplasma gondii infections to optimize the adoption of preventive measures. In previous studies, it has been found that humans are infected mainly

Microbial Contributions to Primate Reproduction. [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Reproduction is a complex process, and microbes play a far greater role than previously imagined. This review explores the ways that microbiomes influence the rich tapestry of reproductive processes and outcomes within the primate lineage, including pre‐copulatory and post‐copulatory mechanisms.

Taxonomic review of Saguinus mystax (Spix, 1823) (Primates, Callitrichidae), and description of a new species [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Although the Amazon has the greatest diversity of primates, there are still taxonomic uncertainties for many taxa, such as the species of the Saguinus mystax group.

Fibrosarcoma Originating from the Pleura in Cotton-Top Tamarin [Oedipomidas (Saguinus) oedipus, Linnaeus 1758] [PDF]

Animals
This report describes postmortem findings after the sudden death of a captive-bred middle-aged male cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus). A firm structure was attached to the pleura in the chest cavity and was assessed as a primary tumor without obvious

Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) in New World Monkeys (Primates) Reveals the Distribution of Repetitive Sequences in Cebinae and Callitrichinae [PDF]

Biology
The intraspecies and interspecies Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) between the closely related Cebidae species, capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus, Sapajus apella), and the tamarins (Saguinus mystax, Leontocebus fuscicollis) was performed to ...

A new Oxyspirura (Nematoda, Thelaziidae) in three captive non-human primate species [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Members of Oxyspirura are mainly parasites in the eye of a wide variety of wild and domestic birds, as well as of some mammals. The latter group is represented by species found in non-human primates from zoological gardens.

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Two captive-bred golden-handed tamarins, Saguinus midas L., 1758 (Primates: Cebidae), kept in households in Japan, presented with psoriasis-like plaques on their faces, along with scale, alopecia, and itching.
