Dubin-Johnson-like syndrome in golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia).

Infection with Trypanosoma cruzi TcII and TcI in free-ranging population of lion tamarins (Leontopithecus spp): an 11-year follow-up

Here, we present a review of the dataset resulting from the 11-years follow-up of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in free-ranging populations of Leontopithecus rosalia (golden lion tamarin) and Leontopithecus chrysomelas (golden-headed lion tamarin) from distinct forest fragments in Atlantic Coastal Rainforest. Additionally, we present new data regarding T. cruzi infection of small mammals (rodents...

Coprological helminth screening in Brazilian free ranging golden lion tamarins, Leontopithecus rosalia (L., 1766) (Primates, Callithrichidae).

Urinary and Plasma Gonadotropin Concentrations in Golden Lion Tamarins (Leontopithecus r. rosalia)

This paper describes the development and validation of a plasma and urinary gonadotropin immunoassay for golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia), an endangered New World callitrichid primate. The assay is derived from a macaque chorionic gonadotropin assay and was validated for both plasma and urine samples in L. rosalia. Levels of immunoreactive LHiCG in lion tamarin urine were highly co...

Frugivory and seed dispersal of golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia (Linnaeus, 1766)) in a forest fragment in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil.

The influence of the golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) as a seed disperser was studied by monitoring two groups of tamarins from December 1998 to December 2000 (871.9 hours of observations) in a forest fragment in south-east Brazil. The tamarins consumed fruits of 57 species from at least 17 families. They ingested the seeds of 39 species, and 23 of these were put to germinate in the...

Progress and problems in Lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia reproduction

In 1972 a conference of biologists from diverse disciplines was held at Washington under the auspices of the Wild Animal Propagation Trust (WAPT), the National Zoological Park, and the New York Zoological Society. Its purpose was to review and summarise information pertinent to marmoset and tamarin biology. It was hoped also that the cross-fertilisation of ideas and knowledge would especially b...
