aotus ericoides/necrosis

In 40 owl monkeys with hemolytic anemia of unknown etiology, 37 had a myopathy characterized by focal or diffuse necrosis of sarcoplasm which was eosinophilic and floccular. Phagocytosis of necrotic fibers and regenerative changes were also observed. The severity of lesions roughly paralleled the

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 two most common diseases of captive owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) are hemolytic anemia and glomerulonephritis. The anemia is characterized by total red blood cell counts between 0.45 and 3.44 x 10(6) microliters, hemoglobin values as low as 1.0 g/dl, and many circulating nucleated red blood

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine serum reference values for creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in captive-born and wild-caught owl monkeys to assess their usefulness for diagnosing myocardial disease. METHODS Blood samples were

Cytokine responses in human host-protective immunity to malaria have yet to be completely elucidated. No data appear to exist on the cytokine patterns in non-human primate models immunized with malarial antigens. Expression of mRNA transcripts of 10 cytokines, the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 and
