| olive baboon (papio anubis anubis) as a model for intrauterine research. | the olive baboon is a popular animal model for reproductive and surgical research. the institute of primate research, nairobi, kenya, has been using the animal for reproductive research for many years. in the baboon, compared with other smaller non-human primates, it is possible to insert uterine probes such as, catheters, curettes and other linear instruments (to cannulate cervix for uterine procedures like flushing, endometrium biopsy, embryo transfer, etc.). | 2007 | 17976041 |
| the baboon as a research model for the study of endometrial biology, uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. | the process of embryo implantation includes attachment of the embryo to the endometrium and penetration through the epithelial layer, decidualization of the basement membrane, invasion of the uterine stroma and access to blood supply. this implantation process is very different in humans when compared to pigs, cattle or rodents. the process of invasion in humans where the embryo gets embedded in decidual tissue and in spiral arteries is more aggressive, but otherwise similar to the process of im ... | 2007 | 17934311 |
| implication of papio anubis in the transmission of intestinal schistosomiasis in three new foci in kime area, ethiopia. | epidemiological studies were conducted in the lake langano area in the rift valley of ethiopia to determine the occurrence of schistosomiasis and assess factors involved in its transmission. microscopic examination of faecal specimens from free ranging papio anubis (anubis baboon) troops from bishan gari and burka dita forest reserves revealed schistosoma mansoni eggs with a prevalence of 12.1% (11/91) and 26.2%(34/130), respectively. the eggs were viable as confirmed by miracidial hatching and ... | 2001 | 11719112 |
