To understand the development of iron deficiency in obesity and its long-term impact on the profile of anemia in spontaneously obese nonhuman primates. The study included 69 adult male nonhuman primates, (NHPs, Macaca mulatta, rhesus monkeys), ranging from normal to obese, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) as defined for humans. Iron deficiency was present...

Reports of spontaneous hematopoietic neoplasms in Platyrrhines species are scarce. We present the gross, histological, and immunohistochemical findings of disseminated T-cell lymphoma in a male 25-year-old Sapajus xanthosternos kept in a Brazilian conservation center. No molecular evidence of betaherpesvirus or gammaherpesvirus was associated with ...

A 6-year-old adult male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) developed a vasocutaneous fistula following an anatomic inguinal hernia repair years earlier. The vasocutaneous fistula was surgically repaired, the vas deferens was ligated, and the wound was closed in layers with non-overlapping suture lines with no further adverse sequalae of events. © 2022...

Anthropogenic disturbances are the main threats to nonhuman primates conservation, and infectious diseases may also play a key role in primate population decline. This study aimed to determine the main causes of death in neotropical primates. A retrospective study of post-mortem examinations was conducted on 146 neotropical primates between January...

Imaging diagnostic methods are essential for a complete understanding of the liver function and may aid in early detection of hepatic disorders. Sixty-nine owl monkeys were grouped in three age groups (AG): AG1 (7 years old, n = 34). The animals were evaluated by ultrasound, liver function tests, and hemogram. The ultrasound revealed abnormal findi...
