Frequency discrimination in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).

Ectrodactyly and syndactyly in a common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).

This paper describes previously unreported malformations of both fore and hind feet in a liveborn common marmoset. Ectrodactyly of both fore feet and left hind foot and syndactyly of the right hind foot were observed.

Spontaneous Rhabdomyosarcoma in a Common Marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus )

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is now widely used in various research fields, including toxicology. However, information about the background pathology of this species is scarce. Here, we report a case of rhabdomyosarcoma that spontaneously occurred in a common marmoset. A 44-month-old male common marmoset was euthanized due to bilateral hind limb paralysis. At necropsy, a 2×2×5-cm in...

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus): parameter optimization.

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured in a New World primate, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). We determined the optimal primary-tone frequency ratio (f(2)/f(1)) to generate DPOAEs of maximal amplitude between 3 and 24 kHz. The optimal f(2)/f(1), determined by varying f(2)/f(1) from 1.02 to 1.40 using equilevel primary tones, decreased with increasing f(2) fre...

Congenital malformation of the vaginal orifice, imperforate vagina, in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)

The following is a report on a congenital vaginal malformation, imperforate vagina, in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). This anomaly was observed for the first time in an adult female in our research colony. There was no uterine and vaginal aplasia or atresia in her grossly normal genital tract. The plasma progesterone concentration suggested that the ovarian cycle had ceased. However,...
