Alimentary tract parasites of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops): A potential reservoir for human transmission
Monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. The aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) to Iran. Fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from Tanzania to Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute of Iran. Fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and Telman sedimentation...
متن کاملEmphasizing the 'positive' in positive reinforcement: Using non-binary rewarding for training monkeys on cognitive tasks.
Non-human primates constitute an indispensable model system for studying higher brain func-tions at the neurophysiological level. Studies involving these animals elucidated the neuronal mechanisms of various cognitive and executive functions, such as visual attention, working memory, and decision-making. Positive Reinforcement Training (PRT) constitutes the gold standard for training animals on...
متن کاملPositive reinforcement training affects hematologic and serum chemistry values in captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).
Positive reinforcement training (PRT) techniques have received considerable attention for their stress reduction potential in the behavioral management of captive nonhuman primates. However, few published empirical studies have provided physiological data to support this position. To address this issue, PRT techniques were used to train chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to voluntarily present a leg...

متن کاملSocial Coordination: Patience Is a Virtue for Vervet Monkeys
Free-ranging vervet monkeys can solve a complex, multi-player coordination problem, learning to remain outside a 'forbidden circle' imposed by one member of the troop, in the absence of any social learning, communication, or policing by more dominant animals.
