Human ACE2 transgenic pigs are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and develop COVID-19-like disease by Long Fung Chau, Simon Lillico, Tanja Opriessnig, Rosemary Blake, Luc Tardy, Chen-Hsuin Lee, Scott Maxwell, Claire Warren, Elizabeth Thornton, Catherine L. Mclaughlin, Gerry McLachlan, Christine Tait-Burkard, Sarah Fletcher, Stephen Anderson, Sharon Brown, Louise Gibbard, Thomas Tzelos, Dawn MacMillan-Christensen, J. Kenneth Baillie, David A. Dorward, David J. Griffiths, Finn Grey

“…Pigs are increasingly recognized as valuable models for human disease due to their genetic, anatomical, physiological, and immunological similarities to humans, and they present a more ethically viable alternative to non-human primates. However, pigs are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection which limits their utility as a model. …”

Le mythe du microcèbe primitif by Fabien Génin, Judith C Masters

“…Mouse lemurs (genus Microcebus, family Cheirogaleidae) are small, nocturnal lemurs endemic to Madagascar, often viewed as the most archaic primates. In this contribution, we criticise this almost mythical view, which is neither supported by the fossil record nor by the most recent phylogenies. …”

Effects of (±) 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) on Sleep and Circadian Rhythms by Una D. McCann, George A. Ricaurte

“…In particular, MDMA has been found to damage brain serotonin (5-HT) neurons in a variety of animal species, including nonhuman primates, with growing evidence that humans are also susceptible to MDMA-induced brain 5-HT neurotoxicity. 5-HT is an important modulator of sleep and circadian rhythms and, therefore, individuals who sustain MDMA-induced 5-HT neurotoxicity may be at risk for developing chronic abnormalities in sleep and circadian patterns. …”

SP140L, an Evolutionarily Recent Member of the SP100 Family, Is an Autoantigen in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis by Mario Saare, Uku Hämarik, Rainis Venta, Marina Panarina, Chiara Zucchelli, Maire Pihlap, Anu Remm, Kai Kisand, Urve Toots, Kaidi Möll, Riina Salupere, Giovanna Musco, Raivo Uibo, Pärt Peterson

“…The genome sequence analysis showed the formation of SP140L gene through rearrangements of the two neighboring genes, SP100 and SP140, during the evolution of higher primates. The SP140L expression is interferon-inducible with high transcript levels in B cells and other peripheral blood mononuclear cells. …”

Feline panleukopenia (review) by A. M. Kiselev, S. V. Shcherbinin, T. S. Galkina

“…Feline panleukopenia, a disease globally known since the beginning of the last century and originally attributed to canine distemper, has expanded its range of hosts since its discovery as a result of successful infections (both natural and experimental) in mustelids, raccoons and even primates. Evolutionarily, the disease pathogen gave rise to anew infectious agent– canine parvovirus, which, despite its DNA structure, demonstrates a relatively high mutation rate and the emergence of new variants. …”

Heart morphology and function evaluation by transthoracic echocardiography in six captive crested gibbons (Nomascus spp.) by Irène Vonfeld, Anaïs Nowakowski, Brice Lefaux, Benoît Quintard

“…However, there are currently no baseline data of heart morphology and function in hylobatid primates. Conventional transthoracic echocardiograms were performed on six clinically healthy crested gibbons of three species (Nomascus siki, N. leucogenys and N. gabriellae) under general anesthesia using sevoflurane without premedication. …”
