| blood characteristics of the crab-eating monkeys (macaca fascicularis) in bali island, indonesia: implication of water deficiency in west bali. | environmental effects on blood characteristics of macaques were examined by comparing several blood indices of the free-ranging crab-eating monkeys (macaca fascicularis) in two distinct regions of bali island, indonesia. the total plasma protein level and concentrations of creatinine and sodium ion were higher with macaques of teluk terima in the west part of bali island (dry area) than those in the central bali (wet area). results indicated that water deficiency in the dry area significantly af ... | 1986 | 3959063 |
| human exposure to herpesvirus b-seropositive macaques, bali, indonesia. | herpesvirus b (cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) has been implicated as the cause of approximately 40 cases of meningoencephalitis affecting persons in direct or indirect contact with laboratory macaques. however, the threat of herpesvirus b in nonlaboratory settings worldwide remains to be addressed. we investigated the potential for exposure to herpesvirus b in workers at a "monkey forest" (a temple that has become a tourist attraction because of its monkeys) in bali, indonesia. in july 2000, 105 ... | 2002 | 12141963 |
| disproportionate participation by age/sex classes in aggressive interactions between long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis) and human tourists at padangtegal monkey forest, bali, indonesia. | we observed 420 aggressive interactions between tourists and macaca fascicularis at the padangtegal wanara wana temple forest site in bali, indonesia, during the months of june and july 2001. the data collected included patterns of aggression, presence or absence of food, and demographic information on resident macaques and human visitors. analyses of the interactions suggest that macaques respond differentially to humans according to the age/sex classes involved. additionally, adult and subadul ... | 2005 | 15940713 |
| primate-to-human retroviral transmission in asia. | we describe the first reported transmission to a human of simian foamy virus (sfv) from a free-ranging population of nonhuman primates in asia. the transmission of an exogenous retrovirus, sfv, from macaques (macaca fascicularis) to a human at a monkey temple in bali, indonesia, was investigated with molecular and serologic techniques. antibodies to sfv were detected by western blotting of serum from 1 of 82 humans tested. sfv dna was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) from the b ... | 2005 | 16022776 |
| risk assessment: a model for predicting cross-species transmission of simian foamy virus from macaques (m. fascicularis) to humans at a monkey temple in bali, indonesia. | contact between humans and nonhuman primates (nhps) frequently occurs at monkey temples (religious sites that have become associated with free-ranging populations of nhps) in asia, creating the potential for nhp-human disease transmission. in march 2003 a multidisciplinary panel of experts participated in a workshop designed to model the risk of nhp-human pathogen transmission. the panel developed a risk assessment model to describe the likelihood of cross-species transmission of simian foamy vi ... | 2006 | 16900504 |
| the anthropogenic environment lessens the intensity and prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in balinese long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis). | the distribution of wildlife parasites in a landscape is intimately tied to the spatial distribution of hosts. in parasite species, including many gastrointestinal parasites, with obligate or common environmental life stages, the dynamics of the parasite can also be strongly affected by geophysical components of the environment. this is especially salient in host species, for example humans and macaques, which thrive across a wide variety of habitat types and quality and so are exposed to a weal ... | 2010 | 21165669 |
| intergroup variation in robbing and bartering by long-tailed macaques at uluwatu temple (bali, indonesia). | robbing and bartering (rb) is a behavioral practice anecdotally reported in free-ranging commensal macaques. it usually occurs in two steps: after taking inedible objects (e.g., glasses) from humans, the macaques appear to use them as tokens, returning them to humans in exchange for food. while extensively studied in captivity, our research is the first to investigate the object/food exchange between humans and primates in a natural setting. during a 4-month study in 2010, we used both focal and ... | 2017 | 28516338 |
| changes in the primate trade in indonesian wildlife markets over a 25-year period: fewer apes and langurs, more macaques, and slow lorises. | indonesia has amongst the highest primate species richness, and many species are included on the country's protected species list, partially to prevent over-exploitation. nevertheless traders continue to sell primates in open wildlife markets especially on the islands of java and bali. we surveyed 13 wildlife markets in 2012-2014 and combined our results with previous surveys from 1990-2009 into a 122-survey dataset with 2,424 records of 17 species. these data showed that the diversity of specie ... | 2015 | 26713673 |
| comparative community-level associations of helminth infections and microparasite shedding in wild long-tailed macaques in bali, indonesia. | helminthes have the capacity to modulate host immunity, leading to positive interactions with coinfecting microparasites. this phenomenon has been primarily studied during coinfections with a narrow range of geo-helminthes and intracellular microparasites in human populations or under laboratory conditions. far less is known regarding differences in coinfection dynamics between helminth types, the range of microparasites that might be affected or the overall community-level effects of helminth i ... | 2015 | 25249163 |
| the role of anthropic, ecological, and social factors in sleeping site choice by long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis). | when choosing their sleeping sites, primates make adaptive trade-offs between various biotic and abiotic constraints. in human-modified environments, anthropic factors may play a role. we assessed the influence of ecological (predation), social (intergroup competition), and anthropic (proximity to human settlements) factors in sleeping site choice by long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis) occupying a habitat at the interface of natural forests and human-modified zones in bali barat national ... | 2014 | 24810544 |
| human behavior and opportunities for parasite transmission in communities surrounding long-tailed macaque populations in bali, indonesia. | spatial overlap and shared resources between humans and wildlife can exacerbate parasite transmission dynamics. in bali, indonesia, an agricultural-religious temple system provides sanctuaries for long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis), concentrating them in areas in close proximity to humans. in this study, we interviewed individuals in communities surrounding 13 macaque populations about their willingness to participate in behaviors that would put them at risk of exposure to gastrointestin ... | 2014 | 24123083 |
