While common marmosets are increasingly used as alternative primate models in biomedical
research, their life history, specialized behavior and unique physiology are not well known. …

Though sexual maturation may begin at around one year of age, first successful reproduction
of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is likely to be later, and it is generally …

Although there has been great progress in treating human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1)
infection 1 , preventing transmission has thus far proven an elusive goal. Indeed, recent …

Infection with Asian-lineage Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with Guillain–Barré
syndrome and fetal abnormalities, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. …

In singular cooperatively breeding mammals, social status is a key determinant of female
reproductive success. Usually only one dominant female breeds in a social group. In the …

Although obesity has multiple etiologies, an overlooked possibility is an infectious origin. We
previously identified two viruses, SMAM-1, an avian adenovirus (Ad), and Ad-36, a human …

Infection with Zika virus (ZIKV) is associated with human congenital fetal anomalies. To
model fetal outcomes in nonhuman primates, we administered Asian-lineage ZIKV …

Subordinate female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) undergo ovulation suppression
and exhibit low plasma cortisol levels compared to the dominant, breeding female. To …

Degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons in the midbrain underlies the pathogenesis of
Parkinson’s disease (PD). Supplement of DA via L-DOPA alleviates motor symptoms but does …

Mouse and nonhuman primate models now serve as useful platforms to study Zika virus (ZIKV)
pathogenesis, candidate therapies, and vaccines, but they rely on needle inoculation of …
