“…The curve obtained (Fig. 2) is similar to that seen in published studies [4,5] when the added thickness of maternal uterus and abdominal wall are taken into account. Changes in TBPD are significantly associated with paired ultrasound measurements of BPD-Ultrasound is currently considered be the most accurate method for measuring biparietal diameter of the live fetus in utero.…”

This study evaluated manual caliper measurement of fetal BPD in Saimiri through the abdomen of the dam (TBPD) for correlation with paired ultrasound measurements, prediction of delivery date, subspecies variation, prediction of pregnancy outcome, and correlation between postpartum BPD and TBPD. Regression analysis revealed a close relationship between TBPD measurements and those obtained by ultrasound (P < 0.001). TBPD for Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis increased from a mean of 14.8 +/- 0.3 mm for 11 weeks prepartum to a delivery week measurement of 33.2 +/- 0.2mm. Delivery-week TBPD of Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis were significantly smaller than Saimiri sciureus sciureus (P < .05). Delivery week TBPD had a correlation coefficient of 0.64 with paired post-patrum measurements. No complications were associated with the technique. Delivery date could be predicted within two weeks. TBPD is an inexpensive, safe, rapid method of approximating fetal growth during the last half of pregnancy in Saimiri.

“…Among the New World monkeys species, ultrasound has also been used to diagnose pregnancy and monitor fetal growth in squirrel monkeys (Narita et al, 1988). Pregnancy can be identified on GD 25 with detection of the GS; cardiac activity can be confirmed approximately 2 weeks later.…”

“…Measurements of fundal height (from the cranial symphyseal border to the highest point of convexity of the gravid uterus) may also be used to determine gestation (Logdberg 1993). Normal morphometric values for growth and development based on ultrasound imaging have been published for the fetus (Logdberg 1993, Narita et al 1988). The squirrel monkey fetus has also been imaged using magnetic resonance imaging (Brady et al 1990a;D'Angelo et al 1990).…”

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.
