A preliminary investigation on the gastrointestinal helminths of the Barbados green monkey, Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus.

Experimental Poliomyelitis in Cercopithecus Aethiops Sabaeus (the Green African Monkey) by Oral and Other Routes

The green African monkey, Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus, has been infected with experimental poliomyelitis after feeding artificially contaminated food. This species is also highly susceptible to intracerebral, intranasal, and intraabdominal inoculations. In one experiment with a human stool from a case of poliomyelitis, Cercopithecus was more susceptible to intranasal and to intraabdominal in...

Simian immunodeficiency virus infection in a patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas): evidence for cross-species transmission from African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) in the wild.

Socio-ethological studies on troops of African green monkeys (AGMs) (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) and patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) in Senegal have documented physical contacts between these two species. Elevated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) seroprevalence rates have been reported for the different AGM subspecies. We report here the extent to which patas monkeys are infected and ...

Yersinia enterocolitica Infection in a Vervet Monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) in Iran

  A vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) housed at quarantine of Razi vaccine and serum research institute died following a few days of sickness. Multiple abscesses on the surface and inside the liver and enlargement of spleen with pinpoint white spot were the most prominent macroscopic features. We examined the organs of the dead monkey and Yersinia enterocolitica was isolated. In histopatho...

A Case of a Spontaneous Lumbar Disc Prolapse in an African Green Monkey ( Chlorocebus aethiops )

Effect on refraction of intramuscular pilocarpine in two species of monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops and Macaca irus)

The effect on accommodation of pilocarpine given intramuscularly was studied on two species of monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops and Macaca irus), six young individuals of each species. The results are given as dose-response curves; 0.2 mg. per kilogram of pilocarpine caused little change in refraction, generally less than 2 D., and 2.0 mg. per kilogravi caused a large change in refraction in both...
