Horizontal transmission of Toxoplasma gondii in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus).
The possibility of horizontal transmission of T. gondii was examined in squirrel monkeys. After three monkeys were inoculated perorally with 1.1-2.1 x 10(3) cysts of the T. gondii ME49, the animals were divided into two cages and maintained with one normal monkey for each cage as a cagemate. Two out of the three T. gondii-inoculated monkeys died, and the remaining one monkey was sacrificed in a...
متن کاملSeasonality in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus): social facilitation by females.
The extent to which social living arrangements influenced seasonal changes in physiology and behavior was examined in adult squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). Data were collected over 20 months (encompassing two breeding seasons) from animals that were housed in three mixed-sex social configurations that varied in the number of heterosexual and isosexual social partners. For both sexes, the p...
متن کاملAnnual physiological changes in individually housed squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus).
This study investigated whether annual changes in physiology occur in individually housed squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). Physiological measures were monitored for 20 months. Over the course of the study, all individually housed males and females exhibited clear annual changes in gonadal and adrenal hormone levels, and males exhibited species-typical changes in body weight. Females exhibit...
متن کاملEnzootic toxoplasmosis in caged squirrel monkeys Saimiri sciureus.
Spontaneous and experimental toxoplasmosis have been reported sporadically as the cause of death in nonhuman primates. These reports indicate that New World monkeys and marmosets (cebidae and hapalidae), are more susceptible to infection by Toxoplasma gondii, or more often develop disease in response to this infection than monkeys and baboons of the Old World (cercopithecidae). This difference ...
متن کاملInterspecies transmission of chronic wasting disease prions to squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus).
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging prion disease of deer and elk. The risk of CWD transmission to humans following exposure to CWD-infected tissues is unknown. To assess the susceptibility of nonhuman primates to CWD, two squirrel monkeys were inoculated with brain tissue from a CWD-infected mule deer. The CWD-inoculated squirrel monkeys developed a progressive neurodegenerative disea...
