Stabilities of some constituents of marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) plasma under various conditions of storage.

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,...

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...

Complete Sequencing of the Common Marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) genome

Bioavailability and efficacy of levofloxacin against Francisella tularensis in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).

Pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies with levofloxacin were performed in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) model of inhalational tularemia. Plasma levofloxacin pharmacokinetics were determined in six animals in separate single-dose and multidose studies. Plasma drug concentrations were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-electrospray ionization. On day 7 of a tw...
