Rhesus macaques are raised in almost every Chinese zoo due to their likeability and ease in feeding; however, little is yet known about the genetic diversity of rhesus macaques in captivity. In this study, a 475-base pair nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial DNA control region was obtained from the fecal DNA of 210 rhesus macaque individuals in captivity. A total of 69 haplotypes were defined, 51 of which (73.9%) were newly identified. Of all haplotypes, seven were shared between two zoos, and 62 haplotypes (89.8%) appeared only in a specific zoo, indicating a low rate of animal exchange between Chinese zoos. Moreover, there was a relatively high level of genetic diversity among the rhesus macaques (Hd = 0.0623 ± 0.0009, Pi = 0.979 ± 0.003, K = 28.974). Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all haplotypes were clearly clustered into two major haplogroups—Clade A (southeastern China) and Clade B (southwestern China)—and each major clade contained several small sub-haplogroups. The haplotypes of rhesus macaques from the same zoo were not clustered together for the most part, but scattered among several subclades on the phylogenetic tree. This indicates that the rhesus macaques in most Chinese zoos may originat from a diverse collection of geographical areas. Our results demonstrate that zoos play an important role in the conservation of the genetic diversity of rhesus macaques, as well as provide useful information on the genetic management of captive rhesus macaques.

“…Changing partners has not been associated with an increased risk of developing PG, but it is unknown whether it changes the risk of recurrence [14]. PG is associated with a high stillbirth rate, premature labor, and delivery of low-birthweight infants [15,16]. Abortions have been reported in approximately 20 % of cases [17].…”

“…Treatment is determined according to the severity of the disease, and its goal is to control pruritus and to prevent the formation of blisters [4]. It is advised to eliminate contact with affected sites to minimize the risk of secondary infection and scarring, and large blisters may be drained [15,21]. Systemic corticosteroids are the treatment of choice, and doses of 0.5-1 mg/kg/day of prednisolone are recommended [1,4].…”

Pregnancy is frequently associated with major skin changes. Some of these changes are attributed to pregnancyspecific dermatoses, which often are overlooked and misdiagnosed by physicians. We discuss four major pregnancyspecific dermatoses: pemphigoid gestationis; pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy; prurigo of pregnancy; and pruritic folliculitis of pregnancy. Accurate diagnosis and management is crucial, not only to alleviate symptoms, but also to estimate correctly the risk for the fetus.
