Program of the Forty‐First Meeting of The American Society of Primatologists
BRBLF, a 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization, is dedicated to the advancement of global preclinical research while focusing on the responsible use of nonhuman primates. Its goal is to optimize the contribution of nonhuman primates to biomedical and behavioral research by fostering innovative collaborations, education, training, and outreach. Immediately after Hurricane Maria, BRBLF and CPRC leadership initiated an emergency plan and began to develo…
Biochemical Markers and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms in Baboons: Their Power for Paternity Exclusion
Body size and the small branch niche: Using marsupial ontogeny to model primate locomotor evolution
Nonsyndromic brachydactyly type D and type E mapped to 7p15 in healthy children and adults from the jirel ethnic group in eastern nepal
OBJECTIVES: There is phenotypic overlap between Brachydactyly Type D (BDD) and Brachydactyly Type E (BDE) that suggests a possible common underlying etiology. We seek to understand the genetic underpinnings of, and relationship between, these skeletal anomalies. METHODS: The Jirel ethnic group of eastern Nepal participates in various genetic epidemiologic studies, including those in which hand-wrist radiographs have been taken to examine skeletal…
Association of Genetic Variation Within UBL5 with Phenotypes of Metabolic Syndrome
The BEACON gene was initially identified using the differential display polymerase chain reaction on hypothalamic mRNA samples collected from lean and obese Psammomys obesus, a polygenic animal model of obesity. Hypothalamic BEACON gene expression was positively correlated with percentage of body fat, and intracerebroventricular infusion of the Beacon protein resulted in a dose-dependent increase in food intake and body weight. The human homolog …
Genetic Influences on Plasma Cytokine Variation in a Parasitized Population
The soil-transmitted helminths are the most common helminthic infections, affecting about one-fourth of the world's population. There is a significant genetic component to susceptibility to infection with these organisms. Substantial changes in plasma cytokine levels are associated with helminthic infections, and there may be significant genetic components to this cytokine variation. Six plasma cytokine levels were assessed for 367 members of a s…
Gene by Smoking Interaction: Evidence for Effects on Low-Density Lipoprotein Size and Plasma Triglyceride and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels
We seek to determine whether significant gene x smoking interaction effects exist on plasma triglyceride (TG) levels, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) level, and median LDL particle diameter (LDL-MPD) in Mexican American families enrolled in the San Antonio Family Heart Study. The sample consisted of 1,392 individuals distributed in 42 extended pedigrees, ranging in age from 16 years to 92 years. Separate quantitative genetic analyses were carried out for…
Attitudes towards Chagas' disease in an endemic Brazilian community
Chagas' disease remains a major public health concern throughout much of Latin America. In Brazil, segments of the population experience Trypanosoma cruzi infection rates as high as 65%, indicating that control programs are still needed. Few data are available concerning people's health beliefs related to Chagas' disease in heavily infected populations. Such health beliefs may significantly impact the effectiveness of intervention schemes. The pu…
Classical genetic markers and DNA markers: A commensal marriage
Genetic relationships among three squirrel monkey types: Implications for taxonomy, biomedical research, and captive breeding
Fourteen electrophoretically variable and 12 monomorphic erythrocytic and serum proteins were used to determine the genetic relationships among Bolivian squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis ), Peruvian squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis ), and Guyanese squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sciureus sciureus ). The results supported the classification scheme of Hershkovitz ( AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PRIMATOLOGY 7:155–210, 1984), whic…
Genetic differentiation between baboon subspecies: Relevance for biomedical research
The use of common names which may encompass a number of subspecies or species is pervasive in the biomedical literature. Failure to identify the complete taxonomic classification of research subjects presents a source of error for scientists attempting to evaluate results or to repeat experiments. This paper examines the problem in a common animal model, the baboon. Analyses of the genetic distances among five baboon subspecies ( Papio hamadryas …
