Abstract
A novel helicobacter, 'Helicobacter macacae', was previously isolated from a colony of rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys in which diarrhoea from chronic idiopathic colitis was enzootic. A survey performed in a second colony of rhesus monkeys without a history of chronic diarrhoea determined that 57 % we...

Veterinary Pathology (47)3 2010
Abstract
Despite numerous advances in the diagnosis and control of infectious diseases of nonhuman primates in the laboratory setting, a number of infectious agents continue to plague colonies. Some, such as measles virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, cause sporadic outbreaks despite well-established biose...

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a chronic and often fatal protozoal disease that is endemic in Belo Horizonte (State of Minas Gerais, Brazil). Leishmania sp. is an intracellular obligatory parasite of macrophages that can naturally infect several mammalian species. Non-human primates (NHP) have been...

Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most frequent pathogen of a fecal-oral transmitted hepatitis in humans in many developing countries. It is endemic in the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, central Asia as well as in Central and South America. It can be predominantly found in young adults. The...

Abstract
A PCR-test system for detection of primate Betaherpesvirinae viruses was developed. Using alignment of complete genome of human, chimpanzee, and macaque rhesus cytomegalovirus conserve regions of viral genes were found. The oligonucleotide primers for consensus conserve regions of CMV UL56 gene were...

Abstract
We characterized one of the first US S-OIV isolates, A/California/04/09 (H1N1; hereafter referred to as CA04), as well as several other S-OIV isolates, in vitro and in vivo. In mice and ferrets, CA04 and other S-OIV isolates tested replicate more efficiently than a currently circulating human H1N1 v...

Abstract
Parasitic diseases at the wildlife/primate/human interface are of particular importance in zoological gardens. Better understanding of the types of wildlife parasites that do persist in zoological gardens, and drives that lead to increases in prevalence or impacts, can point to new strategies for li...

Abstract
Neoplastic diseases in prosimians have been sporadically reported in the literature. To provide a comprehensive review of prosimian neoplasia, a retrospective evaluation of neoplasia in a large captive prosimian colony and an extensive literature review were performed. Primates that belong to the Or...

Abstract
In Kenya, Leishmania major is responsible for human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Natural infection with L. major of a vervet monkey and experimental susceptibility of some nonhuman primates (NHPs) from Kenya has been established. However, there has been no comprehensive study of the prevalence of z...

Journal of Biology (8)2 2009
Abstract
Although most epidemic human infectious diseases are caused by recently introduced pathogens, cospeciation of parasite and host is commonplace for endemic infections. Occasional host infidelity, however, provides the endemic parasite with an opportunity to survive the potential extinction of its hos...

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii infections in zoo animals are of interest because many captive animals die of clinical toxoplasmosis and because of the potential risk of exposure of children and elderly to T. gondii oocysts excreted by cats in the zoos. Seroprevalence of T. gondii antibodies in wild zoo felids, h...

Asymptomatic carriage in stool was found in humans (ranging from a prevalence of 4% in the control group to 12% among a subgroup of sewer workers) but not in monkeys and apes. The T. whipplei load in stool was significantly lower in carriers than in patients with Whipple disease (P < .001). There wa...

The Neanderthals were a Eurasian human species of the genus Homo that disappeared approximately 30,000 years ago.

We tested predictions involving the epidemiological correlates of spondyloarthropathy in wild mammals. Analyses revealed that 5.6% of primates and 3.6% of carnivores exhibited signs of spondyloarthropathy, with maximum incidence as high as 22% in great apes and 27% in bears. We tested whether preval...

Abstract
Simian varicella virus (SVV) is closely related to varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the causative agent of chickenpox and shingles. The SVV and VZV gene 61 polypeptides are homologs of the HSV-1 ICP0, a viral transactivator which appears to play a role in viral latency and reactivation. In this study,...
