Spleen morphometry in Cercopithecus aethiops.

The fast progress of experimental medicine causes an increased interest in the morphological aspects of body structure of the animals used in experiments. This is particularly true with regard to the Primates because of numerous similarities between them and human as far as both body structure and the relation between the structural features of individual organs and certain external features of the body are concerned (2, 6, 7, 9).

The structure of the shell and polar plugs of the egg of the whipworm, Trichuris trichiura (Nematoda: Trichuridae) from the Samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis).

The structure of the shell of the egg of Trichuris trichiura was examined using light microscopy as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results confirmed its three-layered structure and provided evidence that the cores of the polar plugs, which could be seen to be extensions of the shell's middle layer, could be lost en bloc, either mechanically or chemically, and in this way probably provided an exit for the first stage larva at hatching.

[Therapy proposals for the quarantine of African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)].

Attenuated live virus vaccines are usually tested in vivo for neurovirulent properties by using African green monkeys. This report describes the health condition of animals that have been imported from Ethiopia. The monkeys were strongly malnourished when they arrived at the institute. One animal died during the shipment. In spite of many diagnostic and therapeutic efforts only 14 of 29 monkeys survived the 120-day-quarantine. Most animals died of infections of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts within 4 weeks after arrival.

Ethanol drinking by vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus pygerethrus): individual responses of juvenile and adult males.

Unrestricted access of vervet monkeys to a palatable solution of ethanol resulted in chronic intake or abstinence. Self-selected dose averaged 4.42 g/kg body mass/day. Growth of juveniles was not grossly affected. In plasma, chronic ethanol intake was associated with lower average K and Cl values, increased gamma glutamyl transpeptidase in some adults, and higher average total cholesterol. Neither hepatic histology nor haematology were affected by chronic ethanol intake.
