13. Composição e caracterização da fauna de mamíferos do Parque Nacional das Emas, Goiás, Brasil
Emas National Park is a very importam Conservation Unit in the Cerrado Biome. Nevertheless the fauna of this region is still poorly known. In this study, a revised list of the mammal fauna of the Emas National Park with comments about the composition and the number of species surveyed is presented. Eighty six species of mammals were recorded in the Park and

14. The distribution of presumptive thoracic paraganglionic tissue in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
The aortic-pulmonary regions (APR) of seven adult marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) and the region of the right subclavian artery of a further three marmosets were diffusion-fixed with 10% buffered formol-saline solution. In both regions serial 5-µm sections were cut and stained by the Martius yellow, brilliant crystal scarlet and soluble blue method. Presumpt

15. Syncytium-forming virus of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus).
This communication describes the isolation and characterization of a new syncytium-forming virus of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus). The virus, isolated from skin explants and peripheral leukocytes of healthy animals, induced syncytia and subsequent cytolysis of several human, simian, and rodent fibroblastic cultures and induced a carrier state

16. STP and Tip Are Essential for Herpesvirus Saimiri Oncogenicity
Mutant forms of herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) subgroup C strain 488 with deletions in either STP-C488 or Tip were constructed. The transforming potentials of the HVS mutants were tested in cell culture and in common marmosets. Parental HVS subgroup C strain 488 immortalized common marmoset T lymphocytes in vitro to interleukin-2-independent growth, but neither o

17. Food Avoidance Learning in Squirrel Monkeys and Common Marmosets
Using a conditioned food avoidance learning paradigm, six squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) and six common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) were tested for their ability to (1) reliably form associations between visual or olfactory cues of a potential food and its palatability and (2) remember such associations over prolonged periods of time. We found (1) th

18. A Role for Herpesvirus Saimiri orf14 in Transformation and Persistent Infection
The product of open reading frame 14 (orf14) of herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) exhibits significant homology with mouse mammary tumor virus superantigen. orf14 encodes a 50-kDa secreted glycoprotein, as shown previously (Z. Yao, E. Maraskovsky, M. K. Spriggs, J. I. Cohen, R. J. Armitage, and M. R. Alderson, J. Immunol. 156:3260–3266, 1996). orf14 expressed from

19. Successful infection of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) with human varicella-zoster virus.
The common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus, can be infected with human varicella-zoster virus (VZV), both wild-type strain KMcC and attenuated vaccine strain Oka/Merck. Infection was accomplished with either whole-cell-associated or cell extract VZV by combined oral-nasal-conjunctival application and was characterized by substantial and persistent anti-VZV anti

20. The common marmoset: A new world primate species with limited Mhc class II variability
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a New World primate species that is highly susceptible to fatal infections caused by various strains of bacteria. We present here a first step in the molecular characterization of the common marmoset’s Mhc class II genes by nucleotide sequence analysis of the polymorphic exon 2 segments. For this study, genetic m

21. In vitro immortalization of marmoset cells with three subgroups of herpesvirus saimiri.
Sequences within the rightmost 7 kilobases of the unique L DNA of herpesvirus saimiri are required for oncogenicity of the virus. The same DNA region has been found to be highly variable among different strains of herpesvirus saimiri. On the basis of this variability, herpesvirus saimiri strains were classified into groups A, B, and non-A, non-B. Herpesvirus

22. Development of a GB Virus B Marmoset Model and Its Validation with a Novel Series of Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protease Inhibitors†
GB virus B (GBV-B), a flavivirus closely related to HCV, has previously been shown to infect and replicate to high titers in tamarins (Saguinus sp.). This study describes the use of GBV-B infection and replication in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) for the successful development and validation of a surrogate animal model for hepatitis C virus (HCV).

23. Mutation of the Lck-Binding Motif of Tip Enhances Lymphoid Cell Activation by Herpesvirus Saimiri
The proline-rich SH3-binding (SH3B) motif of the tyrosine kinase-interacting protein (Tip) of herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) is required for binding to the cellular Src family kinase Lck. We constructed a mutant form of HVS in which prolines in the SH3B motif of Tip were altered to alanines. This mutant form of Tip was incapable of binding to Lck. The mutant viru

24. An Epstein–Barr-related herpesvirus from marmoset lymphomas
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is implicated in the development of human B cell lymphomas and carcinomas. Although related oncogenic herpesviruses were believed to be endemic only in Old World primate species, we now find these viruses to be endemic in New World primates. We have isolated a transforming, EBV-related virus from spontaneous B cell lymphomas o
