jos virus infection in domestic animals and primates. pathogenicity and immunological studies.three species of domestic animals (rabbits, sheep and goats) and two species of primates erythrocebus patas monkeys and baboon (papio anubis) were infected with jos virus. none of the infected animals developed viraemia or overt clinical disease. complement-fixing and neutralising antibodies were demonstrated in sera of infected animals.197941441
type c viruses from kirsten sarcoma-transformed mink cells co-cultivated with primate cells and expressing p30 antigens related to feline leukemia virus.two type c viruses with new antigenic and biological properties were isolated by co-cultivating secondary cell strains established from the kidneys of a baboon (papio papio) and a patas monkey (erythrocebus patas) with mink cells non-productively transformed by kirsten sarcoma virus. both new isolates (designated pp-1r and ep-1r) contain major structural proteins (p30) that are immunologically most closely related to the p30 proteins of feline leukemia viruses. the reverse transcriptases of both ...197660495
the patas monkey as a model for dihydrostreptomycin ototoxicity.although the cochlear toxicity of dihydrostreptomycin (dhsm) is well-recognized in man, it has always proved difficult to demonstrate in animals. hearing thresholds in m. nemestrina monkeys remained essentially unchanged after dhsm 100 mg/kg im daily for 8 months, but e. patas monkeys were severely deafened by dhsm 20 mg/kg for 90 days, a regimen formerly used in treating human tuberculosis. the patas monkey may prove to be the animal model of choice for evaluating aminoglycoside ototoxicity.197765898
response of erythrocebus patas monkeys to experimental infection with the orbivirus orungo virus.the response of erythrocebus patas monkeys experimentally inoculated by the intravenous and subcutaneous routes with orungo virus (family reoviridae, genus orbivirus) was studied with reference to development of clinical signs, circulation of virus and antibody response. none of the animals showed clinical disease nor did they circulate virus. however, all the animals developed complement fixing (cf), neutralizing (n) and agar gel (ag) precipitating antibodies between day seven and day 14 post i ...197897815
the influence of dose on the pattern of conjugation of phenol and 1-naphthol in non-human primates.1. the pattern of conjugation of phenol and 1-naphthol was investigated in several primates; three old world species (rhesus, cynomolgus, patas monkeys), two new world species (capuchin, tamarin), and two prosimians (bushbaby, tree shrew). 2. following intra-muscular phenol or 1-naphthol (10 mg/kg), sulphation was the major conjugation in the old world monkeys and prosimians, whereas glucuronidation predominated in the new world species. 3. in rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys, sulphation decreased ...197898922
growth and hematologic development of the patas monkey (erythrocebus patas) to one year of age.data from 338 blood samples of 31 patas monkeys is presented to show the normal hematolgoic development from birth to one year of age, and is compared to 120 samples from normal adults. marked changes in hematocrit, hemoglobin, red cell numbers, and leukocyte distribution which occurred during the first month were followed by a slow progression to adult values. body weight data is also presented which shows a linear growth rate during the first year of life.1978101669
the influence of anaesthetics on the haematology of the patas monkey, erythrocebus patas.the effects of phencyclidine, ketamine and an alphaxalone-alphadolone mixture on the haematology of the patas monkeys have been compared. in animals sedated with phencyclidine or ketamine the only significant difference detected was in the mean cell volume. statistically significant differences in white-cell count and blood coagulation and fibrinolytic activity were found in monkeys which had received alphaxalone-alphadolone. it is suggested that ketamine is a suitable alternative to phencyclidi ...1978102867

transmission of creutzfeldt-jakob disease to the patas monkey (erythrocebus patas) with cytopathological changes in in vitro cultivated brain cells.the transmission of creutzfeldt-jakob disease (cjd) to the patas monkey, erythrocebus patas, has been accomplished. clinical neurological disease was first noticed 47 months and 23 days after intracerebral inoculation of infected squirrel monkey brain. the disease progressed slowly and lasted 8 months. microscopic examination of the brain and spinal cord revealed lesions of status spongiosus and astrogliosis in the cortical gray matter consistent with a diagnosis of experimental cjd. a vacuolati ...1975823126
pharmacokinetics and metabolism of the new analgesic meptazinol in rats and patas monkeys.1. the absorption of meptazinol following oral administration to rats and monkeys was extensive, 63-88% of the administered dose being recovered in the urine. however, the rate of absorption was slower in the monkey than that in the rat. 2. distribution studies showed higher concentrations of unchanged drug in tissues and plasma of rats than in those of monkeys after the same dosage. 3. elimination of the drug from plasma occurred rapidly in both species. the major route of excretion was the uri ...1976824868
hormone-releasing silastic intrauterine devices: effect or provera-releasing intrauterine devices on two species of primates.silastic intrauterine contraceptive devices (iuds) 13 mm long and 1.07 mm in diameter could be inserted easily into patas monkey uteri which, like human uteri, expelled them. addition of 10% provera to these devices did not reduce the expulsion rate significantly in our study. control devices had no effect on cycle length in rhesus monkeys. after insertion, the active iuds frequently caused a delay in onset of menstruation; however, cycles did occur with the device in situ, and normal-length cyc ...19751171027
[exocrine pancreatic function, intestinal resorption and reaction to vibrio cholerae infection in protein deficiency].six patas monkeys were fed a protein-free diet while 16 animals of the same species receoved a standard monkey diet. the protein-depleted monkeys showed reduced absorption of folic acid but not dxylose, and 5 out of 6 exhibited depressed exocrine pancreatic function. when challenged with vibrio cholerae, animals with reduced folic acid absorption and pancreatic enzyme production excreted the micro-organisms for a longer time.19761257727
induction of various cytochromes cyp2b, cyp2c and cyp3a by phenobarbitone in non-human primates.male and female patas (erythrocebus patas) and cynomolgus (macaca fascicularis) monkeys were treated with phenobarbitone (pb) and examined for the induction of various cytochrome p450 (p450)-mediated drug metabolizing enzymes. hydroxylation of testosterone at the 6 beta, 2 beta, and 15 beta positions, metabolites normally associated with cyp3a p450s increased 2- to 5-fold in pb-treated animals. induction of this p450 family was confirmed by the use of polyclonal antisera directed against the hum ...19921306117
cloning and sequences of primate cd4 molecules: diversity of the cellular receptor for simian immunodeficiency virus/human immunodeficiency virus.to study the interaction between the primate lentiviruses simian immunodeficiency virus (siv) and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and the cd4 receptor we have cloned and sequenced the cd4 molecule from six non-human primate species: african green monkeys (three subspecies: sabeus, pytherethrus, aethiops), sooty mangabeys, patas monkeys, chimpanzees, rhesus macaques, and pig-tail macaques. molecular cdna clones representing cd4 mrna were generated from total rna from peripheral blood mononucle ...19921425921
reduced blood clearance and increased urinary excretion of n-nitrosodimethylamine in patas monkeys exposed to ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.low concentrations of n-nitrosodimethylamine are metabolized in rodent and human liver by cytochrome p450iie1, an activity competitively inhibitable by ethanol. in rodents coadministration of ethanol with n-nitrosodimethylamine results in increased tumorigenicity in extrahepatic organs, probably as a result of reduced hepatic clearance. to test this concept in a primate, the effects of ethanol cotreatment on the pharmacokinetics of n-nitrosodimethylamine were measured in male patas monkeys. etha ...19921540953
treatment of complete atrio-ventricular block in a patas monkey using a permanent cardiac pacemaker. 19911658449
