“…76 The prevalence of Salmonella infection may be higher in wild populations of macaques in regions where they cohabitate with humans. 77,78 Generally, self-limiting watery or hemorrhagic diarrhea with mucus are the most common clinical signs in affected animals; however, severe signs of disseminated infections resulting in death may be seen in immunosuppressed animals. 79,80 Salmonellosis may affect the small and large intestine and can also be found in the stomach.…”

Rhesus and cynomolgus macaques are the most frequently used nonhuman primate (NHP) species for biomedical research and toxicology studies of novel therapeutics. In recent years, there has been a shortage of laboratory macaques due to a variety of competing factors. This was most recently exacerbated by the surge in NHP research required to address the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus 2 pandemic. Continued support of these important studies has required the use of more varied cohorts of macaques, including animals with different origins, increased exposure to naturally occurring pathogens, and a wider age range. Diarrhea and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are the most frequently occurring spontaneous findings in macaques of all origins and ages. The purpose of this review is to alert pathologists and scientists involved in NHP research to these findings and their impact on animal health and study endpoints, which may otherwise confound the interpretation of data generated using macaques.

“…However, hybridization and introgression have been observed between the two macaque species in Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam [ 46 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. The gradient genomic profiles of the two macaque species show varying degrees of hybridization according to their geographic distribution, leading to likely variability in phenotypic and physiological aspects such as a susceptibility to pathogens [ 46 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. This complicates the genetic variability among different populations; hence, close attention is needed to elucidate the genetic components of macaques.…”

Centromeric satellite DNA (cen-satDNA) consists of highly divergent repeat monomers, each approximately 171 base pairs in length. Here, we investigated the genetic diversity in the centromeric region of two primate species: long-tailed (Macaca fascicularis) and rhesus (Macaca mulatta) macaques. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analysis showed the chromosome-specific organization and dynamic nature of cen-satDNAsequences, and their substantial diversity, with distinct subfamilies across macaque populations, suggesting increased turnovers. Comparative genomics identified high level polymorphisms spanning a 120 bp deletion region and a remarkable interspecific variability in cen-satDNA size and structure. Population structure analysis detected admixture patterns within populations, indicating their high divergence and rapid evolution. However, differences in cen-satDNA profiles appear to not be involved in hybrid incompatibility between the two species. Our study provides a genomic landscape of centromeric repeats in wild macaques and opens new avenues for exploring their impact on the adaptive evolution and speciation of primates.
