Predictability and variability of association patterns in sooty mangabeys [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2020
AbstractIn many group-living animal species, interactions take place in changing social environments, increasing the information processing necessary to optimize social decision-making. Communities with different levels of spatial and temporal cohesion should differ in the predictability of association patterns. While the focus in this context has been

SIVsm quasispecies adaptation to a new simian host. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2005
Despite the potential for infectious agents harbored by other species to become emerging human pathogens, little is known about why some agents establish successful cross-species transmission, while others do not.

CCR5 as a Coreceptor for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses: A Prototypic Love-Hate Affair

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
CCR5, a chemokine receptor central for orchestrating lymphocyte/cell migration to the sites of inflammation and to the immunosurveillance, is involved in the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of health conditions, including inflammatory diseases, viral ...

Acquisition of predator knowledge in sooty mangabeys

Animal Behaviour, 2023
Comment les primates apprennent-ils à communiquer ? Un modèle influent, mais largement non testé, propose que les primates passent par un processus d'élagage, guidé par l'apprentissage social, au cours duquel ils limitent de plus en plus les appels d'alarme d'un large éventail d'animaux à quelques prédateurs dangereux. Pour tester ce modèle, nous avons

Paucity of CD4+ natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes in sooty mangabeys is associated with lack of NKT cell depletion after SIV infection.

PLoS ONE, 2010
Lack of chronic immune activation in the presence of persistent viremia is a key feature that distinguishes nonpathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection in natural hosts from pathogenic SIV and HIV infection.

Lv4 Is a Capsid-Specific Antiviral Activity in Human Blood Cells That Restricts Viruses of the SIVMAC/SIVSM/HIV-2 Lineage Prior to Integration. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
HIV-2 and SIVMAC are AIDS-causing, zoonotic lentiviruses that jumped to humans and rhesus macaques, respectively, from SIVSM-bearing sooty mangabey monkeys. Cross-species transmission events such as these sometimes necessitate virus adaptation to species-

The impact of civil war on forest wildlife in West Africa: Mammals in Gola Forest, Sierra Leone [PDF]

, 2011
Human conflicts may sometimes benefit wildlife by depopulating wilderness areas but there is evidence from Africa that the impacts tend to be negative. The forested states of West Africa have experienced much recent human conflict but there have been no ...

HIV Types, Groups, Subtypes and Recombinant Forms: Errors in Replication, Selection Pressure and Quasispecies [PDF]

, 2012
HIV-1 is a chimpanzee virus which was transmitted to humans by several zoonotic events resulting in infection with HIV-1 groups M P, and in parallel transmission events from sooty mangabey monkey viruses leading to infections with HIV-2 groups A H.

Hard-object feeding in sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) and interpretation of early hominin feeding ecology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Morphology of the dentofacial complex of early hominins has figured prominently in the inference of their dietary adaptations. Recent theoretical analysis of craniofacial morphology of Australopithecus africanus proposes that skull form in this taxon ...

HIV-1 Nef: at the crossroads [PDF]

, 2008
The development of anti-virals has blunted the AIDS epidemic in the Western world but globally the epidemic has not been curtailed. Standard vaccines have not worked, and attenuated vaccines are not being developed because of safety concerns. Interest in
