Genetic characterization of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Nepal

Article Abstract:

The genetic characteristics of a rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) population of Nepal is investigated where twenty-one rhesus macaques at the Swoyambhu Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, were compared with over 300 Indian- and Chinese-origin rhesus macaques. The sequence analyses to two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) loci, from the HVS I and 12S rRNA regions, showed that the Nepali animals were more similar to Indian-origin than to Chinese-origin animals.

Considering human-primate transmission of measles virus through the prism of risk analysis

Article Abstract:

A study investigates serological evidence of exposure to measles virus in two free-ranging populations of macaques at the Bukit Timah (BTNR) and Central Catchment Nature (CCNR) reserves in Singapore and the Swoyambhu Temple in Katmandu, Nepal. The contrasting seroprevalences of the two sites are analyzed using risk analysis, demonstrating how the process can be used to approach the phenomenon of cross-species pathogen transmission.

Prevalence of enteric parasites in pet macaques in Sulawesi, Indonesia

Article Abstract:

In Sulawesi, Primate-pet ownership provides a context for the cross-species transmission of pathogens. Data suggested that infection with enteric parasites is common in pet macaques on Sulawesi, but relatively few of these infections are caused by pathogenic organisms.
