| a taxonomic re-appraisal of sarcocystis nesbitti (protozoa: sarcocystidae) from the monkey macaca fascicularis in yunnan, pr china. | the first detection of sarcocystis nesbitti mandour, 1969 in the chinese mainland is reported and the morphology of the sarcocyst is described in detail. the parasite was detected in the monkey, macaca fascicularis, maintained on a monkey farm in yunnan province; the infection may have occurred via faecal contamination from local rats, mice and/or birds. s. nesbitti was characterized as follows: a macroscopic sarcocyst, length of the cyst up to 2 mm; cyst wall smooth, thin and no perpendicular p ... | 2005 | 15710555 |
| the trimcyp genotype in four species of macaques in china. | the tripartite motif protein (trim)5α/cypa fusion protein trimcyp in old world monkeys is generally considered unable to restrict hiv-1 replication. monkeys with trimcyp can serve as a unique animal model for studies of hiv-1 infection. the present study investigated the distribution and expression status of trimcyp in four species of macaques originating from china and its borderlands: pigtail macaques (macaca nemestrina), rhesus macaques (macaca mulatta), long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicula ... | 2013 | 23233150 |
| genetic polymorphism and zoonotic potential of enterocytozoon bieneusi from nonhuman primates in china. | enterocytozoon bieneusi is an important zoonotic pathogen. to assess the human-infective potential of e. bieneusi in nonhuman primates (nhps), we examined the prevalence and genotype distribution of e. bieneusi in 23 nhp species by pcr and sequence analysis of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (its). a total of 1,386 fecal specimens from nhps from five provinces in china were examined, and e. bieneusi was detected in 158 (11.4%) specimens from five nhp species, including cynomolgus monke ... | 2014 | 24413605 |
