Oral Processing Behaviors of Golden Monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) From Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Primate foraging behaviors are influenced by a variety of factors including the physical and mechanical properties of food items. Golden monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) inhabiting Volcanoes National Park (VNP), Rwanda, rely heavily on mechanically challenging bamboo shoots and bamboo leaves for the bulk of their diet. We examined the oral

Protocol for generating human CAR-engineered macrophages by Vpx-containing lentivirus

STAR Protocols
Summary: Human-derived macrophages are notoriously difficult to infect with HIV-1-based lentiviruses, posing a limitation to the advancement of chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) therapy.

Low Postseroconversion CD4⁺ T-cell Level Is Associated with Faster Disease Progression and Higher Viral Evolutionary Rate in HIV-2 Infection

mBio, 2019
A positive correlation between virus evolutionary rate and disease progression has been shown for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Much less is known about HIV-2, the second causative agent of AIDS.

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Vpx rescues HIV-1 transduction of dendritic cells from the antiviral state established by type 1 interferon

Retrovirology, 2011
Background Vpx is a virion-associated protein encoded by SIVSM, a lentivirus endemic to the West African sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys). HIV-2 and SIVMAC, zoonoses resulting from SIVSM transmission to humans or Asian rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta ...

Seroprevalence of simian immunodeficiency virus in wild and captive born Sykes' monkeys () in Kenya [PDF]

, 2004
Background The Sykes' monkey and related forms (Cercopithecus mitis) make up an abundant, widespread and morphologically diverse species complex in eastern Africa that naturally harbors a distinct simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVsyk).

Inter‐Observer Processing and Measurement Error Are Low for 2D Dental Measurements on Shared microCT Scans

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Sharing micro‐computed tomographic (μCT) scans of teeth increases data accessibility and reduces the need for repeated scans of any given specimen. However, the use of the same TIFF stacks or DICOMs by multiple individuals has the potential to introduce new sources of error.

Picking pithy plants: Pith selectivity by wild white‐faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus imitator

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2025.
“When and why do white‐faced capuchins eat plant pith? We investigated how ecological variables and plant traits shape patterns of pith consumption. We find that pith foraging occurs primarily during seasonal transitions, and that dietary pith species contain relatively more pith, are softer, and have a different odor profile than non‐dietary species.“
