Mycobacterium leprae genomes from naturally infected nonhuman primates.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Leprosy is caused by the bacterial pathogens Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Apart from humans, animals such as nine-banded armadillos in the Americas and red squirrels in the British Isles are naturally infected with M.

Evolution of a TRIM5-CypA Splice Isoform in Old World Monkeys [PDF]

, 2011
The TRIM family proteins share a conserved arrangement of three adjacent domains, an N-terminal RING domain, followed by one or two B-boxes and a coiled-coil, which constitutes the tripartite-motif for which the family is named. However, the C-termini of

Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Infection and Sensing Capacity during Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Infection. [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in macaques (MAC) lead to chronic inflammation and AIDS. Natural hosts, such as African green monkeys (AGM) and sooty mangabeys (SM), are protected

Drivers of disease emergence and spread: Is wildlife to blame? [PDF]

, 2014
The global focus on wildlife as a major contributor to emerging pathogens and infectious diseases (EIDs) in humans and domestic animals is not based on field, experimental or dedicated research, but mostly on limited surveys of literature, opinion and ...

Patterns of genomic sequence diversity among their simian immunodeficiency viruses suggest that L'Hoest monkeys (Cercopithecus lhoesti) are a natural lentivirus reservoir [PDF]

, 2000
Recently, we described a novel simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVlhoest) from a wild-caught L'Hoest monkey (Cercopithecus lhoesti) from a North American zoo.

Tenofovir, Interferon Pathways, and Mucosal Immunity: Implications for People Living With HIV

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV replication and protects people living with HIV (PLWH) from progressing to AIDS. However, despite ART, many PLWH experience chronic immune activation, which contributes to premature aging and non‐AIDS‐related comorbidities. One reason for this chronic immune activation (CIA) is HIV and its

Early adolescent Depo-Provera exposure increases stillbirths in adult sooty mangabeys [PDF]

REPRODUCTION, 2015
The 3-month injectable contraceptive medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA; Depo-Provera) is a synthetic progestin that protects against pregnancy by suppressing ovulation. Studies have focused on the resumption of ovulation after MPA-treatment cessation but neglected potential long-term effects of MPA exposure on future successful reproduction.

Decoding HIV‐1 Next Move Through Matrix Protein p17 Quasi‐Species

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
HIV‐1 mutants expressing clonogenic HIV‐1 matrix protein p17 variants (vp17s) are spreading, increasing their prevalence worldwide. In RNA viruses, quasi‐species are transmitted among hosts, leading to the generation of new master sequences. We developed a next‐generation sequence approach to evaluate the frequency of vp17 quasi‐species in people ...

Smart Ungulates: What Sheep and Goats' Performances in a Reversed‐Reward Contingency Task Tell Us About the Evolution of Cognitive Flexibility

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study shows that young goats outperform sheep in the reversed‐reward contingency task, which is a cognitive test requiring both inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The results highlight the importance of cognitive flexibility when solving this type of task, and suggest that the differences between both species may reflect social and ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...
