Experimental Poliomyelitis in Cercopithecus Aethiops Sabaeus (the Green African Monkey) by Oral and Other Routes

Susceptibility of Cebus Capucina (the South American Ringtail Monkey) and Cercopithecus Cephus (the African Mustache Monkey) to Poliomyelitis Virus

1. The South American ringtail monkey, Cebus capucina, has been infected with the virus of poliomyelitis as found in ultracentrifuged concentrates from poliomyelitic human stools. 2. This species was also found susceptible to poliomyelitis virus found in rhesus and cynomolgus monkey cords, representing early generations of virus derived from two different human sources and from flies trapped in...

A Case of a Spontaneous Lumbar Disc Prolapse in an African Green Monkey ( Chlorocebus aethiops )

Simian immunodeficiency virus infection in a patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas): evidence for cross-species transmission from African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) in the wild.

Socio-ethological studies on troops of African green monkeys (AGMs) (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) and patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) in Senegal have documented physical contacts between these two species. Elevated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) seroprevalence rates have been reported for the different AGM subspecies. We report here the extent to which patas monkeys are infected and ...

Susceptibility of East African Monkeys to Experimental Poliomyelitis *

Individual species of monkeys vary so widely in their susceptibility to infection with poliomyelitis virus, that when "new" species are used for these tests, some measure of their susceptibility is indicated. Particularly is this true during present war-time conditions when difficulties of importing monkeys to the United States, and elsewhere, have necessitated the use of any available species ...

The Importance of the Vervet (African Green Monkey) as a Biomedical Model

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops, formerly Cercopithecus aethiops) has long been among the most important non-human primate (NHP) models for biomedical research, with a PubMed citation record (over the past 10 years) close to that of rhesus macaque and much greater than that of any other NHP. The dramatic recent growth in the use of vervet as a model derives in part from its recognized u...
