| subordination in male talapoin monkeys lowers sexual behaviour in the absence of dominants. | three experiments assessed the consequences of social status for the socio-sexual behaviour and endocrine state of adult male talapoin monkeys (miopithecus talapoin). in the first study, each of five males was individually placed into a group of adult females. neither behavioural responses, nor plasma levels of testosterone, cortisol, or prolactin, predicted males' rank or hormone levels when all males were subsequently placed with these females. in the second study, each of four mixed-sex socia ... | 1985 | 4080831 |
| differences in blood levels of androgens in female talapoin monkeys related to their social status. | serum testosterone and androstenedione levels were lower in the subordinate female talapoin monkeys of four social groups than either dominant or intermediate-ranking females. this was found in both intact or ovariectomized (oestrogen-treated) animals, which suggests that androgen from the adrenals contributed to this rank-related endocrine effect. these differences disappeared when the females were housed singly, levels in all animals becoming similar to those in subordinates in the group cage. ... | 1986 | 3808219 |
| correlation between anxiety and serum prolactin in humans. | the organised social structure of primate species largely determines individual behaviour. moreover keverne et al. in advanced views in primate biology, springer, berlin (1982) [1] have demonstrated that social interaction among confined male talapoin monkeys may result in endocrine changes, and that these in turn may modify behaviour. we have undertaken a study to determine whether similar endocrine changes can be induced in confined human volunteers. five men were confined on a boat for fourte ... | 1986 | 3723452 |
| modulation by social status of the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid and serum cortisol levels in male talapoin monkeys. | serum and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) cortisol were measured by radioimmunoassay in male talapoin monkeys living in social groups. the slopes of the regressions between cortisol in the two compartments were significantly less in dominant than either the most subordinate males or those of intermediate rank. furthermore, the dominants' csf also contained proportionately more cortisol than was predicted from the overall regression analyses of the groups of which they were members. there was no differ ... | 1986 | 3703163 |
| relation between aggressive behaviour and circadian rhythms in cortisol and testosterone in social groups of talapoin monkeys. | circadian rhythms in cortisol and testosterone in both blood and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) were studied in four groups of male and female talapoin monkeys. samples were taken 4 h apart under two conditions: whilst the sexes were kept separate (isosexual) and again after 24 h of interaction (heterosexual). there were similar rhythms in cortisol in males and females during the isosexual condition, though in blood (but not in csf) mean levels were higher in females. heterosexual interaction increas ... | 1987 | 3668439 |

| isolation and partial characterization of a lentivirus from talapoin monkeys (myopithecus talapoin). | we have identified a novel lentivirus prevalent in talapoin monkeys (myopithecus talapoin), extending previous observations of human immunodeficiency virus-1 cross-reactive antibodies in the serum of these monkeys. we obtained a virus isolate from one of three seropositive monkeys initially available to us. the virus was tentatively named simian immunodeficiency virus from talapoin monkeys (sivtal). despite the difficulty of isolating this virus, it was readily passed between monkeys in captivit ... | 1999 | 10405363 |
| beta-endorphin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of male talapoin monkeys in social groups related to dominance status and the luteinizing hormone response to naloxone. | beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity was measured in the cerebrospinal fluid of 20 male talapoin monkeys living in mixed-sex social groups. it was shown that beta-endorphin was the major immunoreactive peptide; there was no evidence for high molecular weight precursors, or for either n-acetyl or c-shortened metabolites. dominant males (those at the top of the social hierarchy) had lower levels of beta-endorphin than those of intermediate rank; subordinate males had higher levels than either of t ... | 1986 | 2944031 |
| the effect of midazolam and beta-carboline carboxylic acid ethyl ester on behaviour, steroid hormones and central monoamine metabolites in social groups of talapoin monkeys. | established social groups of talapoin monkeys show rank-related differences in aggressive, social and sexual behaviours and visual monitoring, as well as in endocrine and monoamine profiles. here we describe the effects on these variables of an "anxiogenic drug", beta-carboline carboxylic acid ethyl ester (beta-cce), and an anxiolytic drug (midazolam) given to either dominant or subordinate male talapoins. in dominant animals beta-cce increased aggression and visual monitoring but reduced sexual ... | 1986 | 2431430 |
| primate social behavior--anxiety or depression? | a review of primate social behavior in different species is presented, with particular emphasis on the talapoin monkey and the concept of dominance and how this may be related to physiological function. social behavior in nonhuman primates can be used to study both anxiety and depression, depending on the precise social setting employed and the way in which the animals are manipulated, for example by drugs. studies relevant to anxiety and depression are described, and indicate that the behavior ... | 1990 | 1975443 |
| new multiple antigenic peptide-based enzyme immunoassay for detection of simian immunodeficiency virus infection in nonhuman primates and humans. | infections with human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (hiv-1 and hiv-2, respectively) are zoonotic infections. in africa, the potential exists for additional cross-species transmissions from at least 33 different species of simian immunodeficiency virus (siv)-infected nonhuman primates (nhps) through hunting and butchering of these animals for food. here we describe a highly sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay (eia) with chemically modified, multiple antigenic peptides (maps) develope ... | 2004 | 15528710 |
| antibodies to type d retrovirus in talapoin monkeys. | sera from 154 african non-human primates were screened for the presence of antibodies to type d retrovirus proteins. four of five talapoin monkeys (miopithecus sp.) captured in western africa were positive for antibodies to type d retrovirus by elisa and by immunoblot reactivity. talapoins are the only african non-human primates that have so far shown evidence for type d retrovirus infection. thus, talapoin monkeys appear to be a reservoir of type d retrovirus infection. | 1991 | 1847180 |
| sequence divergence and copy number of the middle- and long-wave photopigment genes in old world monkeys. | we have studied the sequence and organization of the genes for the middle-wave (mw) and long-wave (lw) cone photopigment genes in six species of old world monkeys. previous studies have shown that the mw and lw pigments of all six species exhibit peak sensitivities near 535 nm and 565 nm, respectively, and thus resemble the equivalent human pigments. in the case of man, the protein components of the mw and lw photopigments differ by 15 amino acids, although only seven of these differences involv ... | 1992 | 1349182 |
| changes in social organization during the breeding season of wild talapoin monkeys. | two adjacent troops of talapoin monkeys were studied near mbalmayo, cameroon, during a predicted 3-month breeding season. mating continued for just over 2 months. one troop began to mate at least 2 weeks before the other, suggesting that, though climatic changes were probably important, precise timing was mediated through some intra-troop social facilitation effect. before the breeding season, adult males and females lived in separate sub-groups. males began to move into female sub-groups before ... | 1975 | 806684 |
| a mobile element-based evolutionary history of guenons (tribe cercopithecini). | guenons (tribe cercopithecini) are a species-rich group of primates that have attracted considerable attention from both primatologists and evolutionary biologists. the complex speciation pattern has made the elucidation of their relationships a challenging task, and many questions remain unanswered. sines are a class of non-autonomous mobile elements and are essentially homoplasy-free characters with known ancestral states, making them useful genetic markers for phylogenetic studies. | 2007 | 17266768 |
| [4647-cell culture for preparation of recombinant bivaccine against smallpox and hepatitis b]. | the seeding and working banks of a 4647-cell culture have been created. the 4647-cell culture in these banks has a high proliferative activity, as well as the morphology, typical of this line, and the karyotype and the enzymogram, which are characteristic for the cells of an african talapoin (cercopithecus aethiops). the culture is not contaminated with bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and viruses, including oncoviruses. the deposited 4647 cells have high viral productive properties for the accumula ... | 2007 | 17500238 |
| influence of habitat and seasonal variation on wild mammal diversity and distribution with special reference to the trypanosoma brucei gambiense host-reservoir in bipindi (cameroon). | to evaluate the role of wildlife in the resurgence and perenisation of human african trypanosomiasis (hat), we investigated the influence of habitat and seasonal variations on the diversity and spatial distribution of wild mammals, with special reference to those recognised as potential host-reservoirs of trypanosoma brucei gambiense in bipindi (southwestern cameroon). to achieve this, we carried out transect surveys in four habitat types over two years. a total of 31 mammal species were recorde ... | 2009 | 19732737 |
| banding patterns of the chromosomes of miopithecus talapoin compared with macaca mulatta and cercopithecus aethiops. | the g-, c-, and q-banding and nor patterns of the chromosomes of miopithecus talapoin are described. g-banding patterns are compared with those of macaca mulatta and cercopithecus aethiops which show large homoeologies. | 1980 | 7449434 |
| reproductive cycles of the talapoin monkey (miopithecus talapoin). | reproductive cycles of female talapoins living in caged breeding groups were followed over 7 years, using visible changes of the perineum. changes in the perineum during the extended adolescence of this species are described. there was a clearly defined breeding season, although its onset was not so abrupt as in the wild. during the summer months females show very small perineal swellings or none at all. even during the breeding season all stages of the follicular phase of cycles are highly vari ... | 1977 | 410712 |
| a müllerian duct remnant in an aged male talapoin monkey. | a pelvic mass in an aged, male talapoin monkey, believed to be of müllerian duct origin, is described. histologically, the mass was composed of smooth muscle cells and glandular epithelium, although the typical uterine organization of these tissues was not observed. the remainder of the genital system was that of a normal male primate. | 1977 | 405493 |

| sexual and aggressive behaviour in social groups of talapoin monkeys. | in social groups not all monkeys are equal, in terms of either their behaviour or their endocrine status. when a dominant monkey is compared with one that is subordinate the level of sexual behaviour is high in the dominant and low in the subordinate monkey, while levels of aggression received follow an inverse pattern. attention in terms of visual monitoring is primarily focused on the dominant animal even when overt aggression is extremely low. cortisol and prolactin concentrations tend to be ... | 1978 | 111907 |
| variation in age at puberty in monkeys. | 5 female and 3 male patas monkeys and 6 female and 3 male talapoin monkeys matured in a captive breeding colony. age at puberty is given, and some variation discussed. the talapoin, a very small monkey, becomes adult at 4 1/2 years for females, 1 or 2 years later for males. the patas, a rather large monkey, becomes adult at 2 1/2 years, for females, and 1 or 2 years later for males. both these ages for puberty differ from data for the rhesus monkey which has been accepted as generalizable to all ... | 1977 | 18386 |
| behavioural and endocrine effects of naltrexone in male talapoin monkeys. | the effect of treating captive male talapoin monkeys with naltrexone hydrochloride (500 micrograms/kg intra-muscular injection twice daily) was studied both in socially living and singly caged animals. the behaviour of the group males and endocrine changes in all treated animals were monitored during the course of treatment and on drug withdrawal. naltrexone significantly reduced sexual behaviour in previously active males, while increasing grooming interactions. aggressive behaviour did not cha ... | 1980 | 7192404 |
| social influences on circulating levels of cortisol and prolactin in male talapoin monkeys. | three captive groups of adult talapoin monkeys (miopithecus talapoin), each with four males and four or five ovariectomized, estrogen-treated females, were observed. behavioral interactions were recorded and levels of cortisol and prolactin were measured. in each group, males formed a linear dominance order, determined by the direction of spontaneous aggression; highest male rank was associated with frequent socio-sexual interactions and lowest rank with infrequent socio-sexual behavior. the fir ... | 1983 | 6683410 |
| opiate antagonists stimulate affiliative behaviour in monkeys. | the effects of treating captive talapoin monkeys acutely (twice daily for 7 days) with naltrexone hydrochloride (0.25 mg 0.5 mg and 1 mg/kg intramuscular injections twice daily), naloxone hydrochloride (0.5 mg/kg im twice daily) and sulpiride (1.5 mg/kg im twice daily) was studied in social pairs and singly caged animals. the behaviour of social pairs and endocrine changes in all treated monkeys were monitored before, during and after withdrawal of the course of drug treatment. naltrexone and na ... | 1982 | 6280208 |

| effects of rank and novel females on behaviour and hormones in male talapoin monkeys. | two social groups of captive talapoin monkeys (miopithecus talapoin), each with three intact adult males and three or four ovariectomized, estrogen-treated adult females, were observed. socio-sexual and aggressive interactions were recorded, and levels of testosterone, cortisol, and prolactin were measured in male serum. cortisol and prolactin titers did not reflect male rank, nor did changes in one of these hormones parallel changes in the other. in both groups males formed a linear dominance h ... | 1982 | 7202225 |
| phylogeny of african monkeys based upon mitochondrial 12s rrna sequences. | the suborder anthropoidea of the primates has traditionally been divided in three superfamilies: the hominoidea (apes and humans) and the cercopithecoidea (old world monkeys), together comprising the infraorder catarrhini, and the ceboidea (new world monkeys) belonging to the infraorder platyrrhini. we have sequenced an approximately 390-base-pair part of the mitochondrial 12s rrna gene for 26 species of the major groups of african monkeys and apes and constructed an extensive phylogeny based up ... | 1995 | 7535363 |
| sequence and evolution of the blue cone pigment gene in old and new world primates. | the sequences of the blue cone photopigments in the talapoin monkey (miopithecus talapoin), an old world primate, and in the marmoset (callithrix jacchus), a new world monkey, are presented. both genes are composed of 5 exons separated by 4 introns. in this respect, they are identical to the human blue gene, and intron sizes are also similar. based on the level of amino acid identity, both monkey pigments are members of the s branch of pigments. alignment of these sequences with the human gene r ... | 1995 | 7558038 |
| sequence divergence, polymorphism and evolution of the middle-wave and long-wave visual pigment genes of great apes and old world monkeys. | in man, the spectral shift between the middle-wave (mw) and long-wave (lw) visual pigments is largely achieved by amino acid substitution at two codons, both located in exon 5. a third amino acid site coded by exon 3 is polymorphic between pigments. we have studied the equivalent regions of the cone opsin genes in two members of the hominidea (the gorilla, gorilla gorilla and the chimpanzee, pan troglodytes) and in three members of the cercopithecoidea family of old world primates (the diana mon ... | 1994 | 7975287 |
