| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in bred cynomolgus monkeys ( macaca fascicularis ) in china. | little is known of the seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in bred cynomolgus monkeys ( macaca fascicularis ) in china. in the present survey, 240 serum samples of cynomolgus monkeys from 4 nonhuman primate centers in guangxi zhuang nationality autonomous region (gx), and 120 serum samples from 2 nonhuman primate centers in guangdong province (gd) were obtained, and the modified agglutination test (mat) was performed to assay for anti- t. gondii antibodies. antibodies to t. gondii (mat titer of ... | 2010 | 20476808 |
| high prevalence of entamoeba infections in captive long-tailed macaques in china. | long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis) are bred in china for export and for use in experiments. entamoeba infections in captive long-tailed macaques were surveyed in one of the biggest colonies located in guangxi province, china. one stool sample was obtained from each of the 152 different cages representing >3,000 macaques in the colony. the samples were examined by pcr for five entamoeba species. the number of detected entamoeba coli infections comprised 94% of the samples, 93% for entamoe ... | 2011 | 21484347 |
| lethal canine distemper virus outbreak in cynomolgus monkeys in japan in 2008. | canine distemper virus (cdv) has recently expanded its host range to nonhuman primates. a large cdv outbreak occurred in rhesus monkeys at a breeding farm in guangxi province, china, in 2006, followed by another outbreak in rhesus monkeys at an animal center in beijing in 2008. in 2008 in japan, a cdv outbreak also occurred in cynomolgus monkeys imported from china. in that outbreak, 46 monkeys died from severe pneumonia during a quarantine period. a cdv strain (cyn07-dv) was isolated in vero ce ... | 2013 | 23135729 |
| occurrence of human-pathogenic enterocytozoon bieneusi, giardia duodenalis and cryptosporidium genotypes in laboratory macaques in guangxi, china. | captive nonhuman primates have been identified as common hosts of enterocytozoon bieneusi, giardia duodenalis, cryptosporidium hominis, and cyclospora spp., thus are potential reservoirs of some enteric parasites in humans. however, few studies have examined the source and human-infective potential of enteric parasites in laboratory nonhuman primates. in the present work, 205 fecal specimens were collected from three groups of captive macaca fascicularis kept in different densities in a laborato ... | 2014 | 24157444 |
| prevalence and genetic diversity of entamoeba species infecting macaques in southwest china. | many colonies of macaques (macaca fascicularis and macaca mulatta) are maintained in china, especially in guangxi and guizhou. a total of 803 fresh stool samples infected with entamoeba were obtained from three big colonies of macaques located in southwest china. the samples were examined for the presence of five entamoeba species using pcr. entamoeba nuttalli, entamoeba dispar, entamoeba coli, and entamoeba chattoni infections were detected, but entamoeba histolytica infection was not. this stu ... | 2013 | 23354942 |
| 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 |
