Abstract

Owl monkeys (Aotus spp.) are the only nocturnal simian primates and, as such, they are very different from other nonhuman primate species. Owl monkeys have been used as animal models in malaria research for over 50 years; however, they are also useful models to study a wide range of infectious and some noninfectious diseases. In addition, owl monkeys are spontaneously affected by a wide range of bacterial, viral, mycotic, and parasitic diseases, some of them with zoonotic potential that need to be considered when using this genus in biomedical research. Here we briefly review the research use and spontaneous diseases of this unique genus.

作为动物研究模型的猫头鹰猴。第3部分：研究使用和疾病

鸮猴是唯一的夜行猿类灵长类动物，因此，它们与其他非人类灵长类动物非常不同。50多年来，猫头鹰猴一直被用作疟疾研究的动物模型；然而，它们也是研究广泛的传染性疾病和一些非传染性疾病的有用模型。此外，猫头鹰猴会自发地受到各种细菌、病毒、真菌和寄生虫疾病的影响，其中一些具有人畜共患的潜力，在生物医学研究中使用猫头鹰猴属时需要考虑到这一点。本文就该属植物的研究、利用及自然发病作一综述。
