“…Squirrel monkeys were one of the first primate models of human atherosclerosis (Malinow et al 1966, Middleton et al 1967b). Although other primate species have since supplanted the squirrel monkey in this role, techniques for inducing atherosclerotic plaques in squirrel monkeys by diet manipulation have been well described (Maruffo and Portman 1968;Middleton et al 1967a).…”

S quirrel monkeys are useful animal models in a variety of different research disciplines in biomedical research. To properly utilize these animals, it is important that research techniques are properly suited to the unique characteristics of this genus. To consider squirrel monkeys as "miniaturized macaques," or a slightly different version of another animal model, is to underestimate both the potential and the pitfalls of using these animals in research.

“…The presence of blood parasites of various kinds was noted by Malinow et al [1966] including T. cruzi-like and T.rangeli-like proto zoa, Plasmodium (unidentified) and microfilariae of three kinds. Peritoneal filariasis was also seen in their monkeys.…”

“…When the serum lipid levels reached a steady state, the monkeys were fed experimental diets. A butter-cholesterol diet used was similar to the one described by Malinow, Maruffo and Perley (10) and contained by weight: Purina Chow, 38.6%; banana, 8.5%; butter, 4.3%; cholesterol, 2% (or 0.5%). Each animal was given 250 g (approx 450 cal) of this diet once a day for 3 wk.…”
