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 ...

Development of Alarm Call Behaviour in Sooty Mangabeys (published as Comprehension of own and other species’ alarm calls in sooty mangabey vocal development)

, 2022
Primates understand the meaning of alarm calls of their own and other species, but not much is known about how they acquire such knowledge. Rapid acquisition may be particularly important for younger individuals that incur higher predation risks and lack experience in dealing with predators.

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.

Necrotizing endometritis and isolation of an alpha-toxin producing strain of Clostridium septicum in a wild sooty mangabey from Côte d'Ivoire

, 2013
Few lethal pathogens in wild‐living primates have been described, and little is known about infectious diseases of the reproductive tract and their possible impact on health and reproduction.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New Middle Pleistocene Hominin Dental Remains From Velika Balanica, Serbia

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 2, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective The cave site of Velika Balanica in Sićevo Gorge, Serbia, has previously yielded early Neanderthal dental remains from Layer 3a, dated by thermoluminescence to 285 ± 34 and 295 ± 74 ka. We describe and compare four additional dental specimens recovered from the Middle Pleistocene Layers 3a and 3b of the cave: a right I1 (BH‐8), a ...

The Ontogeny of “Twitter” Calls in White‐Faced Capuchins (Cebus imitator): Usage, Context, and Acoustic Structure

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT In stark contrast to our own highly plastic communicative abilities, nonhuman primate vocalizations were historically considered fixed and innate, with very little ability to learn or modify vocal signals. However, recent studies indicate that primate vocalizations do show evidence of developmental plasticity, most notably in their context and
