In the absence of suitable rodent animal models for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the efficacy testing of asexual blood-stage vaccine candidates in Aotus nancymaae represents a tool to select between different formulations before conducting expensive human clinical trials. CpG oligonucleotides
6 Aotus trivirgatus monkeys, which had all spontaneously recovered from an experimentally induced Plasmodium falciparum infection, were included in a clinical study concentrating on possible adverse reactions caused by a vaccine using late schizonts and merozoites as an antigen a synthetic compound,
Cytokines IL-1-beta, IL-2, and TNF alpha were detected in occasional cells within portal inflammatory infiltrates beginning 3 weeks after oral inoculation of monkeys with HAV. The number of cells secreting those cytokines did not increase, and they were not of importance in the pathogenesis.
Dengue virus (DENV) of the Flaviviridae family is a single positive-stranded RNA virus that is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of chloroquine (CLQ) as an antiviral drug against dengue virus in monkeys. To analyze
Sequential liver biopsies of owl monkeys that had been experimentally infected with one of two strains of hepatitis A virus (HM-175 or PA-33) were examined for histopathologic alterations. Preinoculation biopsies were normal with only occasional minimal mononuclear cell infiltrates in portal tracts
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the susceptibility of the owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) to hepatitis A virus, but have not shown an association between infection and histopathological or chemical evidence of liver disease. Therefore, 12 seronegative, colony-bred monkeys were inoculated
The kidneys of 11 clinically healthy owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) acquired from four different sources were examined by light and electron microscopy. Eight of the 11 animals had morphologic evidence of glomerulonephritis. The lesions were characterized by one or more of the following changes:
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants lacking the γ134.5 neurovirulence loci are promising agents for treating malignant glioma. Arming oncolytic HSV-1 (oHSV) to express immunostimulatory genes may potentiate therapeutic efficacy. We have previously demonstrated improved pre-clinical efficacy,
We studied Aotus lemurinus, Panamanian night monkeys, for susceptibility to Toxoplasma infection and for their capacity to develop immunity using either sufadiazine prophylaxis or the non-persistent ts-4 vaccine. The animals were highly susceptible to infection with a mouse pathogenic (T265) and a
BACKGROUND
This case report describes the treatment of three male owl monkeys (Aotus nancymaae) diagnosed with chronic dry eye with a topical cyclosporine product, Restasis, approved for use in humans. These owl monkeys had ocular disease resulting from procedures performed at a biotechnology
The owl monkey, Aotus trivirgatus, in contrast to other species of nonhuman primates, was shown to be susceptable to infection with strains of Chlamydia trachomatis. It responded to experimental infection with a severe, acute, inflammatory reaction of short duration. Monkeys which recovered from
BACKGROUND
Rabies causes an acute fatal encephalomyelitis in most mammals following infection with rhabdovirus of the genus Lyssavirus. Little is known about rabies virus infection in species of New World non-human Primates (NHP). To investigate the suitability of the owl monkey Aotus nancymaae
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants lacking the γ(1)34.5 neurovirulence loci are promising agents for treating malignant glioma. Arming oncolytic HSV-1 to express immunostimulatory genes may potentiate therapeutic efficacy. We have previously demonstrated improved preclinical efficacy,
