"Intestinal spirochaetosis" of the vervet monkey.
Electron microscopy revealed that 80% of captured vervet monkeys, held in quarantine for experimental use, showed extensive proliferation of spiral-shaped bacteria on the mucosal epithelium of the large bowel. A consortium, consisting of a predominant spirillum together with a spirochaete, was usually seen as a lawn covering the colonic epithelium. Sparsely populated areas showed preferential c...
متن کاملDevelopment of a safer laboratory vervet monkey model for the study of human African trypanosomiasis
BACKGROUND There are three subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei: T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense and T. b. brucei. The first two are infectious to humans, whilst T. b. brucei is not. Identifying an animal model of T. b. brucei that mimics human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) would enable researchers to study HAT without subjecting themselves to undue risks such as accidental infection. OBJECTIV...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملStealth Adaptation of Viruses: Review and Updated Molecular Analysis on a Stealth Adapted African Green Monkey Simian Cytomegalovirus (SCMV)
The available DNA sequence data on an African green monkey simian cytomegalovirus virus (SCMV)-derived stealth adapted virus are summarized. The data provide important insight into a generic mechanism by which viruses avoid effective immunological recognition by the cellular immune system. This process is termed stealth adaptation and comprises the deletion or mutation of the relatively few vir...
متن کاملA Challenge to the Ancient Origin of SIVagm Based on African Green Monkey Mitochondrial Genomes
While the circumstances surrounding the origin and spread of HIV are becoming clearer, the particulars of the origin of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) are still unknown. Specifically, the age of SIV, whether it is an ancient or recent infection, has not been resolved. Although many instances of cross-species transmission of SIV have been documented, the similarity between the African green...
