Polyarteritis nodosa is an idiopathic necrotizing vasculitis that affects small to medium-sized arteries. We describe a case of polyarteritis nodosa in a captive common wooly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha) associated with transmural intestinal necrosis and secondary peritonitis. This condition must be considered for differential diagnosis of segment...

A cynomolgus macaque presented with an osteolytic lesion of the left femur. Histopathology was consistent with well-differentiated chondrosarcoma. No metastasis was found in chest radiographs out to 12 months. This case suggests survival out to 1 year without metastasis following amputation may be possible in NHPs with this condition. © 2023 John W...

Only four of 40 animals had measurable asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) levels. The young primate had the lowest value (53.4 ng/ml) when compared with the two adults (218.8 ± 9.3 ng/ml) and the elderly one (320.5 ng/ml). The ADMA levels in this study may relate to the echocardiographic abnormalities found, and possible hypertensive individuals. ...

Rhesus macaques are natural hosts to multiple viruses including rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV), rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV), and Simian Foamy Virus (SFV). While viral infections are ubiquitous, viral transmissions to uninfected animals are incompletely defined. Management procedures of macaque colonies include cohorts that are Specific Pathogen Free ...

Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are fundamental for countless types of research and their phylogenetic similarities with humans make them valuable biomodels. Saimiri (squirrel monkeys) is the New World simian genus that is most widely used in research; however, little is known about the morphology of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of these animals. The ...

The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene has come to prominence due to its reported function in the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) was utilized to study the genetics of PCSK9 gene. Sixteen vervet monkeys were selected to screen for possible PCSK9 polymorphisms and to ...

The cynomolgus macaque has become the most used non-human primate species in nonclinical safety assessment during the past decades. This review summarizes the biological data and organ system development milestones of the cynomolgus macaque available in the literature. The cynomolgus macaque is born precocious relative to humans in some organ syste...
