| distribution of streptococcus troglodytae and streptococcus dentirousetti in chimpanzee oral cavities. | the aim of this study was to analyze the distribution and phenotypic properties of the indigenous streptococci in chimpanzee (pan troglodytes) oral cavities. eleven chimpanzees (aged from 9 to 44 years, mean ± sd, 26.9 ± 12.6 years) in the primate research institute of kyoto university were enrolled in this research and brushing bacterial samples collected from them. streptococci were isolated from the oral cavities of all chimpanzees. the isolates (n = 46) were identified as thirteen species by ... | 2013 | 23668608 |
| a new method of walking rehabilitation using cognitive tasks in an adult chimpanzee (pan troglodytes) with a disability: a case study. | there are few studies of long-term care and rehabilitation of animals which acquired physical disabilities in captivity, despite their importance for welfare. an adult male chimpanzee named reo at the primate research institute of kyoto university, developed acute myelitis, inflammation of the spinal cord, which resulted in impaired leg function. this report describes a walking rehabilitation system set up in a rehabilitation room where he lives. the rehabilitation apparatus consisted of a touch ... | 2016 | 27150249 |
| intracranial arachnoid cysts in a chimpanzee (pan troglodytes). | an intracranial arachnoid cyst was detected in a 32-year-old, 44.6-kg, female chimpanzee at the primate research institute, kyoto university. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and computed tomography (ct) were performed and the cognitive studies in which she participated were reviewed. mri revealed that the cyst was present in the chimpanzee's right occipital convexity, and was located in close proximity to the posterior horn of the right lateral ventricle without ventriculomegaly. ct confirmed t ... | 2014 | 24068629 |
