Abstract

Background

Hematologic and blood biochemical values are key tools for assessing primate health. A long-term behavioral study of howler monkeys at a single site (La Pacífica, Guanacaste, Costa Rica), afforded the opportunity to develop baseline values for a large group of animals, evaluating differences between adult males and females and comparing to a report in the same population two decades later.

Methods

In 1998, 64 free-ranging mantled howler monkeys were anesthetized and sampled for hematologic and biochemical analysis.

Results

Blood analysis is reported for 29 adult females, 9 juvenile females, 19 adult males and 3 juvenile males. Four adults were excluded due to external injury or disease. There were few significant differences between adult females, juvenile females, and adult males.

Conclusions

Baseline blood parameters are useful for determining normal values for howler monkey populations. The values for total protein, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, liver enzymes and potassium differed from a later study in 2019 may indicate changes that are influencing howler monkey health.

哥斯达黎加拉帕西卡放养的蝠鲼吼猴（Alouatta palliata）的血液学和血清生物化学。

背景：血液学和血液生化值是评估灵长类动物健康状况的关键工具。在一个单一地点（哥斯达黎加瓜纳卡斯特的拉帕西菲卡）对吼猴进行的长期行为研究，提供了为一大群动物制定基准值的机会，评估成年雄性和雌性之间的差异，并与二十年后同一群体的报告进行比较：方法：1998 年，对 64 只散养蝠猴进行了麻醉和采样，以进行血液学和生化分析：结果：报告了 29 只成年雌猴、9 只幼年雌猴、19 只成年雄猴和 3 只幼年雄猴的血液分析结果。其中 4 只成年雌猴因外伤或疾病被排除在外。成年女性、少年女性和成年男性之间几乎没有明显差异：基线血液参数有助于确定吼猴群体的正常值。总蛋白、血尿素氮、葡萄糖、肝酶和钾的数值与2019年的一项研究有所不同，这可能表明影响吼猴健康的变化。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Medical Primatology publishes research on non-human primates as models to study, prevent, and/or treat human diseases; subjects include veterinary medicine; morphology, physiology, reproductive biology, central nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases; husbandry, handling, experimental methodology, and management of non-human primate colonies and laboratories; non-human primate wildlife management; and behaviour and sociology as related to medical conditions and captive non-human primate needs. Published material includes: Original Manuscripts - research results; Case Reports - scientific documentation of a single clinical study; Short Papers - case histories, methodologies, and techniques of particular interest; Letters to the Editor - opinions, controversies and sporadic scientific observations; Perspectives – opinion piece about existing research on a particular topic; Minireviews – a concise review of existing literature; Book Reviews by invitation; Special Issues containing selected papers from specialized meetings; and Editorials and memoriams authored by the Editor-in-Chief.
