Yersinia enterocolitica Infection in a Vervet Monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
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 histopathologic examination of the liver, spleen and intestine sections, acute hepatitis, splenitis and enteritis were evident. This is the first report of fatal case of Y. enterocolitica infection in vervet monkey from Iran .

full textRetinal epithelial fine structure in the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops).
The morphology of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and closely associated Bruch's membrane (complexus basalis) and choriocapillaris have been investigated by electron microscopy in the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). The RPE is composed of a single layer of cuboidal cells joined laterally by apically-located junctional complexes. Basally (sclerally) these cells display numerous info...

The data gathered by human observers studying the behavior of nonhuman primates often reveal a social structure of apparently striking complexity. Social groups are composed of a number of different families of different dominance ranks, each of which both competes and cooperates with other families in the group. It is often difficult for the observer to imagine that the monkeys could function ...
full textSegmental variations in the elastic fiber content of the lateral costotransverse ligaments in the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus pygerythrus aethiops).
The segmental and zonal variations in the quantitative relationships between elastic and collagen fibers within the lateral costotransverse ligaments have been investigated in the vervet monkey. The lateral costotransverse ligaments of the caudal segments have a largely elastic structure in contrast to those of the cranial segments, which are characteristically collagenous. In the transitional ...
full textChronic haloperidol or fluphenazine: effects on dopamine metabolism in brain, cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of Cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkey).
Chronic treatment with haloperidol for 3 to 5 weeks (0.5 mg/kg, daily) resulted in significant increases of homovanillic acid (HVA) content in dorsal and orbital frontal cortex and in cingulate cortex. No change in HVA was seen in the olfactory cortex, basal ganglia, cisternal cerebrospinal fluid or plasma of animals chronically treated with haloperidol. Treatment with a single weekly dose of f...
full textProinflammatory cytokine expression in the early phase of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops).
A vervet monkey model of trypanosomiasis was used to study inflammatory cytokine responses in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Gamma interferon levels were transiently up-regulated in serum between days 6 and 8 of infection, followed by a sustained up-regulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and soluble TNF receptor 1. At no time were these cytokines detectable in the CSF.
