| number and topography of cones, rods and optic nerve axons in new and old world primates. | to better understand the evolution of spatial and color vision, the number and spatial distributions of cones, rods, and optic nerve axon numbers were assessed in seven new world primates (cebus apella, saimiri ustius, saguinus midas niger, alouatta caraya, aotus azarae, calllithrix jacchus, and callicebus moloch). the spatial distribution and number of rods and cones was determined from counts of retinal whole mounts. optic axon number was determined from optic nerve sections by electron micros ... | 2008 | 18598400 |
| comparative assessment of behaviorally derived personality structures in golden-handed tamarins (saguinus midas), cotton-top tamarins (saguinus oedipus), and common marmosets (callithrix jacchus). | one way to address questions about the origins and adaptive significance of personality dimensions is by comparing the personality structures of closely related species that differ in their socioecological circumstances. for the present study, we compared the personalities of captive golden-handed tamarins (saguinus midas; n = 28), cotton-top tamarins (saguinus oedipus; n = 20), and common marmosets (callithrix jacchus; n = 17). all 3 species are new world monkeys of the family callitrichidae. t ... | 2020 | 32391706 |
| non-human primate models of dengue virus infection: a comparison of viremia levels and antibody responses during primary and secondary infection among old world and new world monkeys. | due to the global burden of dengue disease, a vaccine is urgently needed. one of the key points in vaccine development is the development of a robust and reliable animal model of dengue virus infection. characteristics including the ability to sustain viral replication, demonstration of clinical signs, and immune response that resemble those of human dengue virus infection are vital in animal models. preclinical studies in vaccine development usually include parameters such as safety evaluation, ... | 2020 | 32230836 |
| food sharing patterns in three species of callitrichid monkeys (callithrix jacchus, leontopithecus chrysomelas, saguinus midas): individual and species differences. | food sharing (fs) in cooperatively breeding callitrichids is unusual among nonhuman primates because they regularly share significant amounts of preferred food with immatures and engage in proactive fs. however, it is still unclear which classes of individuals (males or females, breeders or helpers) engage most in fs, and whether differences exist among callitrichid species. in the first part of this study, we characterized general fs patterns in common marmosets (callithrix jacchus). we found s ... | 2019 | 30985161 |
| chromosome studies of saguinus midas niger (callithricidae, primates) from tucurui, para, brazil: comparison with the karyotype of callithrix jacchus. | the karotype of saguinus midas niger was studied by g-, c-, and nuclear organizer region (nor)-banding techniques. variations in c-banding patterns were observed in some chromosomes. the banding patterns obtained were compared with those previously described for callithrix jacchus. the two species differ by a reciprocal translocation involving pairs 9 and 16; by a paracentric inversion in chromosomes 1, 13, 14, 18, and 22; and by a pericentric inversion in at least four subtelocentric pairs (chr ... | 1988 | 31973446 |
| prevalence and molecular phylogenetic characterization of trypanosoma (megatrypanum) minasense in the peripheral blood of small neotropical primates after a quarantine period. | neotropical primates of the cebidae and callitrichidae, in their natural habitats, are frequently infected with a variety of trypanosomes including trypanosoma cruzi, which causes a serious zoonosis, chagas' disease. the state of trypanosome infection after a 30-day quarantine period was assessed in 85 squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus) and 15 red-handed tamarins (saguinus midas), that were wild-caught and exported to japan as companion animals or laboratory animals, for biomedical research, re ... | 2008 | 18576832 |
| mycobacterium asiaticum infection in a red-handed tamarin (saguinus midas). | a 4-yr-old, intact male red-handed tamarin (saguinus midas) was evaluated because of a 6-mo history of an enlarging axillary mass. diagnostic findings included a positive intradermal tuberculin test, persistent severe leukocytosis, and hyperglobulinemia. a nontuberculous mycobacterium species isolated from the mass was identified as mycobacterium asiaticum using 16s ribosomal dna sequencing and high-performance liquid chromatography. | 2006 | 17319146 |
| colour discrimination learning in black-handed tamarin ( saguinus midas niger). | colour is one cue that monkeys use for perceptual segregation of targets and to identify food resources. for fruit-eating primates such as saguinus, an accurate colour perception would be advantageous to help find ripe fruits at distance. the colour vision abilities of black-handed tamarins ( saguinus midas niger) were assessed through a discrimination learning paradigm using munsell colour chips as stimuli. pairs of chips were chosen from an early experiment with protan and deutan humans. the m ... | 2003 | 14593516 |
| trypanosomatidae from wild mammals in the neotropical rainforest of french guiana. | the initial filling of the reservoir behind the petit saut hydro-electric dam, on the sinnamary river in french guiana, threatened the terrestrial and arboreal animals living in the neotropical rainforest being flooded. during a rescue programme between 24 october and 12 november in 1994, many of these animals were checked for infection with trypanosomatids. overall, 45 blood samples and 54 skin biopsies were collected from 53 mammals (of 13 species representing five orders) and blood samples we ... | 2001 | 11299122 |
| monkeys of the rainforest in french guiana are natural reservoirs for p. brasilianum/p. malariae malaria. | monkey blood samples were collected from 214 monkeys relocated as part of the wildlife rescue organized in french guiana during the filling of the petit saut dam on the sinnamary river. these samples were tested for malaria parasites by microscopy of thick blood filsm and by nested pcr for small subunit rrna genes (ssurrna). parasitic blood forms similar to plasmodium brasilianum were detected in 4 monkey species: alouatta seniculus macconnelli, saguinus midas midas, pithecia pithecia and ateles ... | 2000 | 10726261 |
| mayaro virus fever in french guiana: isolation, identification, and seroprevalence. | this paper reports the first isolation of mayaro (may) virus from a patient infected in french guiana. the identification was initially performed using immunofluorescent antibody testing with specific mouse antibody, and confirmed by plaque-reduction neutralization testing and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. to determine if may virus infection is widespread in french guiana, a serosurvey was performed to determine the prevalence of antibody to this virus in various ethnic groups ... | 1998 | 9749643 |
| beta2-microglobulin in neotropical primates (platyrrhini). | nucleotide sequences for the three exons of the beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) gene (b2m) were determined for 135 animals representing 37 species and all 16 genera of neotropical primates (platyrrhini). twenty-eight different nucleotide sequences, encoding for 26 different proteins, were obtained. in comparison with those of other primate species, the beta2-microglobulins of the platyrrhini form a distinct clade. individual genera of neotropical primates have distinctive b2m sequences, but within ... | 1998 | 9634477 |
| morphological adaptation to diet in platyrrhine primates. | morphological features of the jaws and teeth are examined in eight species of platyrrhine monkeys that coexist in the suriname rainforest. z-scores calculated from geometric predictions for several features of the feeding apparatus thought to have some functional significance (e.g., tooth dimensions, jaw robusticity, leverage of primary jaw elevators) are compared to a profile of the naturalistic dietary behavior of these species (i.e., proportions of fruit mesocarp, seeds, leaves, and fauna eat ... | 1994 | 8085615 |
| preliminary observations on habitat utilization and diet in eight surinam monkeys. | the eight monkey species occurring in surinam were studied in the raleigh-vallen-voltzberg nature reserve along the coppename river. special emphasis was placed on determining how these eight species divide up available habitat and food resources within a 300-ha study area. cebus apella apella is probably the most adaptable of the surinam monkeys. it was found mainly in the understory and lower to middle parts of the canopy of all five forest types (high rain forest, low rain forest, mountain sa ... | 1981 | 6802728 |
