Increased Plasmodium falciparum Parasitemia in Non-splenectomized Saimiri sciureus Monkeys Treated with Clodronate Liposomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 A major constraint in the study of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, including vaccine development, lies on the parasite's strict human host specificity and therefore the shortage of animal experimental models able to harbor human plasmodia.

Ovarian aging in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). [PDF]
Reproduction, 2009 In female squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), the reproductive period normally extends from ∼2.5 years to the mid-teens. In the present study, we examined the age-associated cytological changes in the ovaries of 24 squirrel monkeys ranging in age from newborn to ∼20 years.

Encephalitozoonosis in Squirrel Monkeys(Saimiri sciureus) [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 1985 Twenty-two cases of naturally occurring encephalitozoonosis in squirrel monkeys are reported from breeding colonies of the Delta Regional Primate Research Center, Covington, La. Characteristic foci of granulomatous inflammation and organisms were demonstrated in brains, kidneys, lungs, adrenals, and livers.
