isolation and genetic characterization of encephalomyocarditis virus 1 from a deceased captive hamadryas baboon.in 2007, numerous hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) died suddenly in an aviary of a primate institute in sochi, russia, in the absence of prior clinical signs. necropsies were suggestive of encephalomyocarditis virus infection, but rt-pcr assays with commonly used primers were negative. here we report the histopathological results obtained during necropsies and the isolation and genomic characterization of a divergent strain of encephalomyocarditis virus 1 (emcv-1) from heart tissue of one of ...201829113825
blood meal identification in the cryptic species anopheles gambiae and anopheles coluzzii using maldi-tof ms.matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms) has recently emerged in entomology as a technique to identify arthropods and their blood meal source. in this study, female anopheles gambiae were fed on five host blood sources: ocelot (leopardus pardalis), binturong (arctictis binturong), springbok (antidorcas marsupialis), jaguar (panthera onca) and hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas), while anopheles coluzzii were fed on three hosts: dromedary (camelus ...201830052501
a pilot study for estimating the cardiopulmonary signals of diverse exotic animals using a digital camera.monitoring the cardiopulmonary signal of animals is a challenge for veterinarians in conditions when contact with a conscious animal is inconvenient, difficult, damaging, distressing or dangerous to personnel or the animal subject. in this pilot study, we demonstrate a computer vision-based system and use examples of exotic, untamed species to demonstrate this means to extract the cardiopulmonary signal. subject animals included the following species: giant panda (ailuropoda melanoleuca), africa ...201931835550
preparation for certain and uncertain future outcomes in young children and three species of monkey.this study examined 3-year old children and monkeys' capacities to prepare for immediate future events. in study 1, children were presented with several tube apparatuses with two exits. when targets were certain to emerge from both, children tended to prepare to catch them by covering each exit. when it was uncertain where targets would emerge, however, they tended to prepare for only one possibility. these results substantiate the claim that simultaneous preparation for mutually exclusive possi ...202031372992
use of social network models to understand play partner choice strategies in three primate species.although play is seen in many species, its evolutionary function is still largely unknown. several relevant, proposed hypotheses (such as the training for the unexpected, self-assessment, social skills, and dominance hierarchy hypotheses) make predictions about how animals should optimally choose their play partners based on their familiarity or other demographic variables. we used a social network approach to analyze focal sample data on brown capuchins (cebus apella), hamadryas baboons (papio ...201930600419

a cross-species comparison of abnormal behavior in three species of singly-housed old world monkeys.abnormal behavior occurs in a number of captive nonhuman primate species and is often used as an indicator of welfare. however, reported levels of abnormal behavior often vary across species, making general welfare judgments difficult. the purpose of this study was to assess differences in levels of abnormal behavior and associated risk factors across three species of old world monkeys in order to identify similarities and differences across species. the subjects were 415 (109 females) cynomolgu ...201829422700
insights into the molecular systematics of trichuris infecting captive primates based on mitochondrial dna analysis.nematodes belonging to the trichuris genus are prevalent soil-transmitted helminths with a worldwide distribution in mammals, while humans are mainly affected in areas with insufficient sanitation such as in africa, asia and south america. traditionally, whipworms infecting primates are referred to trichuris trichiura, but recent molecular and morphological evidence suggests that more than one species may be able to infect humans and non-human primates. here, we analyzed the genetic diversity an ...201931395201
parameters of experimental activity in the study of the cognitive abilities of rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) and baboons (papio hamadryas).we compared experimental activity, behavioral activity in the experiment, of rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) and baboons (papio hamadryas). baboons showed higher levels of experimental activity. the contrast in the activity between the species is probably associated with species-specific characteristics of the behavior and different ability to adapt under new conditions. in particular, they may be the result of lower plasticity of rhesus monkeys with respect to experimental conditions.202032328945
nineteen new microsatellite dna polymorphisms in pigtailed macaques (macaca nemestrina).microsatellite loci known to be polymorphic in baboons (papio hamadryas) and/or humans were tested in pigtailed macaques (macaca nemestrina) from the washington regional primate research center. nineteen polymorphisms were identified in the macaques, with an average of 9.2 alleles per locus and an average heterozygosity of 0.76. seven loci were analyzed using radiolabelled pcr primers and standard gel electrophoresis. twelve loci were studied using fluorescently labelled primers and the perkin-e ...200030545185
parasitic infections in african humans and non-human primates.different protozoa and metazoa have been detected in great apes, monkeys and humans with possible interspecies exchanges. some are either nonpathogenic or their detrimental effects on the host are not yet known. others lead to serious diseases that can even be fatal. their survey remains of great importance for public health and animal conservation. fecal samples from gorillas (gorilla gorilla) and humans living in same area in the republic of congo, chimpanzees (pan troglodytes) from senegal an ...202032664573
adenovirus infections in african humans and wild non-human primates: great diversity and cross-species transmission.non-human primates (nhps) are known hosts for adenoviruses (advs), so there is the possibility of the zoonotic or cross-species transmission of advs. as with humans, adv infections in animals can cause diseases that range from asymptomatic to fatal. the aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and diversity of advs in: (i) fecal samples of apes and monkeys from different african countries (republic of congo, senegal, djibouti and algeria), (ii) stool of humans living near gorillas in ...202032570742
philopatry at the frontier: a demographically driven scenario for the evolution of multilevel societies in baboons (papio).the baboons (papio sp.) exhibit marked interspecies variation in social behavior. the thesis presented here argues, first, that male philopatry is a crucial factor, arguably the crucial factor, underlying the other distinctive features (one-male units, multilevel society) shared by hamadryas and guinea baboons, but not other species of papio. the second suggestion is that male philopatry as a population norm was not an adaptation to a particular habitat or set of ecological circumstances but evo ...202032736063
a missing piece of the papio puzzle: gorongosa baboon phenostructure and intrageneric relationships.most authors recognize six baboon species: hamadryas (papio hamadryas), guinea (papio papio), olive (papio anubis), yellow (papio cynocephalus), chacma (papio ursinus), and kinda (papio kindae). however, there is still debate regarding the taxonomic status, phylogenetic relationships, and the amount of gene flow occurring between species. here, we present ongoing research on baboon morphological diversity in gorongosa national park (gnp), located in central mozambique, south of the zambezi river ...201931010537

correlation between musculoskeletal structure of the hand and primate locomotion: morphometric and mechanical analysis in prehension using the cross- and triple-ratios.biometric ratios of the relative length of the rays in the hand have been analyzed between primate species in the light of their hand function or phylogeny. however, how relative lengths among phalanges are mechanically linked to the grasping function of primates with different locomotor behaviors remains unclear. to clarify this, we calculated cross and triple-ratios, which are related to the torque distribution, and the torque generation mode at different joint angles using the lengths of the ...202032365096
total eclipse of the zoo: animal behavior during a total solar eclipse.the infrequency of a total solar eclipse renders the event novel to those animals that experience its effects and, consequently, may induce anomalous behavioral responses. however, historical information on the responses of animals to eclipses is scant and often conflicting. in this study, we qualitatively document the responses of 17 vertebrate taxa (including mammals, birds, and reptiles) to the 2017 total solar eclipse as it passed over riverbanks zoo and garden in columbia, south carolina. i ...202032244374
baboon bearing resemblance in pigmentation pattern to siamese cat carries a missense mutation in the tyrosinase gene.an infant hamadryas baboon exhibiting an albino phenotype-white body hair and red eyes-was born to parents with wild-type body color. pigmentation on some parts of its body surfaced during childhood and progressed with age. this baboon in adulthood has gray hair on parts of its body, such as the tail, distal portion of the legs, and face, with the remainder being white. this pigmentation pattern resembles that of the siamese cat and the himalayan variants of the mouse and the mink. the distingui ...202032053406
the multilevel society of a small-brained bird.animal societies can be organised in multiple hierarchical tiers [1]. such multilevel societies, where stable groups move together through the landscape, overlapping and associating preferentially with specific other groups, are thought to represent one of the most complex forms of social structure in vertebrates. for example, hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) live in units consisting of one male and one or several females, or of several solitary males, that group into clans. these clans then ...201931689393
social evolution in plio-pleistocene hominins: insights from hamadryas baboons and paleoecology.reconstructions of hominin evolution have long benefited from comparisons with nonhuman primates, especially baboons and chimpanzees. the hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas) is arguably one of the best such models, as it exhibits both the male kin bonding and the cross-sex pair bonding thought to have been important in hominin evolution. here we link processes of behavioral evolution in hamadryas baboons with those in a plio-pleistocene hominin, provisionally identified as homo erectus (sensu lat ...201931629289
exenatide regulates pancreatic islet integrity and insulin sensitivity in the nonhuman primate baboon papio hamadryas.the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exenatide improves glycemic control by several and not completely understood mechanisms. herein, we examined the effects of chronic intravenous exenatide infusion on insulin sensitivity, β cell and α cell function and relative volumes, and islet cell apoptosis and replication in nondiabetic nonhuman primates (baboons). at baseline, baboons received a 2-step hyperglycemic clamp followed by an l-arginine bolus (hc/a). after hc/a, baboons underwent a par ...201931536476
meat eating in wild hamadryas baboons: opportunistic trade-offs between insects and vertebrates.the consumption of meat may provide herbivorous animals with important nutrients that are scarce in their plant-based diet. seasonal variation in plant food availability has been suggested to motivate dietary flexibility in a range of species and thus primates may seek more prey when key plant resources are unavailable. alternatively, prey encounter rate may drive meat eating. here we investigate patterns of meat eating in hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) at filoha, awash national park, ethio ...201931297842
rabies among animals in saudi arabia.rabies is a fatal viral disease that continues to threaten human and animal health in endemic countries. rabies is endemic in animals in the arabian peninsula. although saudi arabia is the largest country on the peninsula, little has been reported in the country about rabies situation.201931079702
severe whipworm (trichuris spp.) infection in the hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas).a 3-year-old male hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas) at the seoul zoo, korea, died without any previous symptoms. necropsy revealed severe whipworm infection in the large intestine. the animal weighed 2.6 kg and had a blood clot at the anus. numerous whipworms were found attached to the intestinal wall, with their anterior ends embedded in the mucosa. fecal microscopy revealed typical barrel-shaped, brown eggs of trichuris spp., with hyaline polar plugs at each end. histopathological examination ...201930464076
correlation of cognitive abilities of male hamadryas baboon with age and hierarchical status.we studied the correlation between the rank and age of baboons (n=12) with their cognitive abilities. a positive correlation was found between performances of different tests by male. the ability to solve the tests related to bait placement depended on the age of the males and age-related hierarchical status. four-year-old males performed these tests in 52% of cases, whereas five-year-old males, who reached a higher hierarchical status by this age solved with them in 93% of cases. in the tests f ...201830121930
evolution of the modern baboon (papio hamadryas): a reassessment of the african plio-pleistocene record.baboons (papio hamadryas) are among the most successful extant primates, with a minimum of six distinctive forms throughout sub-saharan africa. however, their presence in the fossil record is unclear. three early fossil taxa are generally recognized, all from south africa: papio izodi, papio robinsoni and papio angusticeps. because of their derived appearance, p. angusticeps and p. robinsoni have sometimes been considered subspecies of p. hamadryas and have been used as biochronological markers ...201829954592
high-resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry metabolomics of non-human primate serum.metabolomics analyses using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms)-based metabolomics are heavily impeded by the lack of high-resolution mass spectrometers and limited spectral libraries to complement the excellent chromatography that gc platforms offer, a challenge that is being addressed with the implementation of high-resolution (hr) platforms such as 1d-gc/orbitrap-ms.201829874398
magnetic particle imaging of islet transplantation in the liver and under the kidney capsule in mouse models.islet transplantation (tx) represents the most promising therapy to restore normoglycemia in type 1 diabetes (t1d) patients to date. as significant islet loss has been observed after the procedure, there is an urgent need for developing strategies for monitoring transplanted islet grafts. in this report we describe for the first time the application of magnetic particle imaging (mpi) for monitoring transplanted islets in the liver and under the kidney capsule in experimental animals.201829675353
in vivo experimental study of biological compatibility of tissue engineered tracheal construct in laboratory primates.biological compatibility of a tissue engineered construct of the trachea (synthetic scaffold) and allogenic mesenchymal stem cells was studied on laboratory papio hamadryas primates. subcutaneous implantation and orthotopic transplantations of tissue engineered constructs were carried out. histological studies of the construct showed chaotically located filaments and mononuclear cells fixed to them. development of a fine connective tissue capsule was found at the site of subcutaneous implantatio ...201829658077
in vitro assessment of electrospun polyamide-6 scaffolds for esophageal tissue engineering.artificial tissue-engineered grafts offer a potential alternative to autologous tissue grafts for patients, which can be traumatic. after decellularizing papio hamadryas esophagus and studying the morphology and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ecm), we generated electrospun polyamide-6 based scaffolds to mimic it. the scaffolds supported a greater mechanical load than the native ecm and demonstrated similar 3d microstructure, with randomly aligned fibers, 90% porosity, 29 μm max ...201929603873
patterns of wounding in hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) in north american zoos.in north american zoos, hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) have traditionally been housed as single one-male units (single male groups). in recent years, efforts have been made to house hamadryas in groups composed of multiple one-male units (multi-male groups) to more closely mirror their natural social structure, in addition to all-male or bachelor groups to manage surplus males. given that the majority of social conflict in hamadryas occurs between males during the acquisition and defense of ...201829441656
2d:4d digit ratio is not a biomarker of developmental programming in baboons (papio hamadryas species).we hypothesized second-to-fourth hand digit ratio (2d:4d) is a biomarker of developmental programming in 3 baboon groups: intrauterine growth restriction (7 females, 8 males), exposure during fetal life to synthetic glucocorticoids (4 females, 5 males), and controls (66 females, 20 males). 2d:4d was similar between sexes and groups.201829034475
[diurnal activity pattern and seasonal variations of captive papio hamadryas.]activity rhythms and time budgets are two important components of ecological influences on animal individual behaviors. we collected data on activity pattern using instantaneous scan sampling on captive hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas) in hangzhou wild animal zoo in zhejiang, china from november 2012 to october 2013. the results showed that: 1) in the activity time allocation, the main activities (frequency percentage was more than or equal to 5%) included resting (42.5%), traveling (16.2%), ...201629696873
alveolar bone loss in wild baboons.radiograph-based methods were used to assess alveolar bone loss in 12 juvenile and 18 adult baboons (papio hamadryas, sensu lato) living in the awash national park, ethiopia. alveolar bone loss, as measured from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar crest, averaged about 1 mm in juveniles and about 1.5 mm in adults. densitometry of alveolar bone from the radiographs provides a baseline for comparisons with other adult baboons. periodontal disease surveys of baboon populations using such met ...199331941198
social relationships of mountain baboons: leadership and affiliation in a non-female-bonded monkey.instead of close and differentiated relationships among adult females, the accepted norm for savanna baboons, groups of drakensberg mountain baboons (papio ursinus) showed strong affiliation of females towards a single male. the same male was usually the decision-making animal in controlling group movements. lactating or pregnant females focused their grooming on this "leader" male, producing a radially patterned sociogram, as in the desert baboon (p. hamadryas); the leader male supported young ...199032075347
