Spontaneous Vitiligo in a Captive Rhesus Monkey ( < em > Macaca mulatta < /em > )
We present a case report on a 16-y-old female rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) with depigmented areas that are progressively increasing on the skin and coat and are distributed on the head and back. Histopathology revealed alterations compatible with vitiligo characterized by the absence of melanocytes in the epidermis and dermis. The clinical history and complementary exams support this diagnosis.PMID:37263754 | DOI:10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000091 (Source: Comparative Medicine)

Severe Anemia in Sprague-Dawley Rats after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
Comp Med. 2023 May 31. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000074. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures for weight loss in humans. However, this procedure is not risk-free, and patients may experience complications that include small bowel obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, ulcers, malnutrition, and anemia. In particular, anemia is a recognized long-term complication and can be severe. Rats have been used as a model to study the effects of gastric bypass surgeries. They can experience similar complications as people, bu...

Ferrets as Models for Viral Respiratory Disease
Comp Med. 2023 May 31. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDomestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) have been used in biomedical research to study influenza viruses since the early 20th century. Ferrets have continued to gain importance for the study of viral respiratory disease due to their disease susceptibility and anatomic similarities to humans. Here we review features of ferret biology and management that should be considered when planning to work with this species, particularly in models of respiratory disease. We specifically discuss biosafety and husbandry, clinical and pathologic asses...

Trends and Treatment Approaches for Complications in Neuroscience Experiments with Monkey Species
Comp Med. 2023 May 19. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur goal in this manuscript is to advance the assessment and treatment of monkey species in neuroscience research. We hope to begin a discussion and establish baseline data on how complications are identified and treated. We surveyed the neuroscience research community working with monkeys and compiled responses to questions about investigator demographics, assessment of animal wellbeing, treatment choices, and approaches to mitigate risks associated with CNS procedures and promote monkey health and wellbeing. The majority of the respond...
