A rhesus macaque model of Asian-lineage Zika virus infection
Infection with Asian-lineage Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and fetal abnormalities, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Animal models of infection are thus urgently needed. Here we show that rhesus macaques are susceptible to infection by an Asian-lineage ZIKV closely related to strains currently circulating in the Americas. Following sub...
متن کاملA new model of cortical stroke in the rhesus macaque.
Primate models are essential tools for translational research in stroke but are reportedly inconsistent in their ability to produce cortical infarcts of reproducible size. Here, we report a new stroke model using a transorbital, reversible, two-vessel occlusion approach in male rhesus macaques that produces consistent and reproducible cortical infarcts. The right middle cerebral artery (distal ...
متن کاملA macaque model of HIV-1 infection.
The lack of a primate model that utilizes HIV-1 as the challenge virus is an impediment to AIDS research; existing models generally employ simian viruses that are divergent from HIV-1, reducing their usefulness in preclinical investigations. Based on an understanding of species-specific variation in primate TRIM5 and APOBEC3 antiretroviral genes, we constructed simian-tropic (st)HIV-1 strains t...
متن کاملImmunogenomics of the Rhesus macaque, an animal model for HIV vaccine development
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) resulting in the progressive failure of the immune system. Due to its rapid replication rate and high mutation frequency, the virus is able to evade the immune system and thwart an efficacious response. Current HIV infection prophylaxes and therapeutics are not optimal and there is an urgent...
متن کاملA New Rhesus Macaque Karyotype Based on Human-rhesus Synteny.
Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), because of their similarity to humans, are often used to study complex neurobiology and anatomy, cardiovascular disease, and in vaccine development. While the rhesus genome is studied on its own by primatologists, the grand majority of rhesus macaque research is done with the intention of extrapolating the findings to human diseases and traits. As such, it makes...
