Woolly Monkey–HBV Infection in Squirrel Monkeys as a Surrogate Nonhuman Primate Model of HBV Infection [PDF]
Hepatology Communications, 2020 Development of curative therapies for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will likely require new animal models. Here, we evaluate HBV infection in squirrel monkeys based on the high‐sequence homology of the HBV receptor, Na+/taurocholate co ...

Effects of relocation on immunological and physiological measures in female squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 In the present study, we have quantified the effects of transport, relocation and acclimate/adapt to their new surroundings on female squirrel monkey. These responses are measured in blood samples obtained from squirrel monkeys, at different time points ...

Zika Virus Infection Damages the Testes in Pubertal Common Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri collinsi) [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 During the Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak and after evidence of its sexual transmission was obtained, concerns arose about the impact of the adverse effects of ZIKV infection on human fertility. In this study, we evaluated the clinical-laboratory aspects and

The Expression Patterns of Cytochrome Oxidase and Immediate-Early Genes Show Absence of Ocular Dominance Columns in the Striate Cortex of Squirrel Monkeys Following Monocular Inactivation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 Because at least some squirrel monkeys lack ocular dominance columns (ODCs) in the striate cortex (V1) that are detectable by cytochrome oxidase (CO) histochemistry, the functional importance of ODCs on stereoscopic 3-D vision has been questioned ...

Effects of buprenorphine, methadone, and cariprazine on economic choice between remifentanil and food in squirrel monkeys [PDF]
Addiction Neuroscience, 2023 We recently reported an economic choice task in which squirrel monkeys chose between differing amounts of remifentanil, a fast-acting opioid, or a food reward to develop a preclinical screen for evaluating potential pharmacotherapies for opioid ...

Perceptual Tuning Influences Rule Generalization: Testing Humans With Monkey-Tailored Stimuli
i-Perception, 2019 Comparative research investigating how nonhuman animals generalize patterns of auditory stimuli often uses sequences of human speech syllables and reports limited generalization abilities in animals.
