“…Africa is home to several species of NHPs (Groves, 2016;Grubb et al, 2003), with 25 genera and 94 species (De Jong and Butynski, 2012a). East Africa supports 68% of Africa's primate genera and 41% of Africa's primate species.…”

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) originating from wildlife present a significant threat to global health, security, and economic growth, thus combatting their emergence is a public health priority. Humans and non-human primates (NHPs) exhibit a high degree of overlap in their genetic and physiological similarities, hence making them susceptible to majority of pathogens that can cross the primate species boundaries. However, efforts to understand the potential infectious disease-causing pathogens harbored by wild primate populations has lagged and is yet to be fully explored. Disease surveillance in wildlife to identify probable infectious disease outbreaks has remained a challenge especially in developing countries due to logistical and financial constrains associated with both periodic and longitudinal sample collection. Such loopholes have hampered the preparedness to handle the emerging infectious diseases whenever they arise. In this review we focus on successes, challenges, and proposed solutions for EID surveillance in non-human primate populations in Kenya. We discuss,1) mechanisms of cross species transmission of EIDs, 2) the role of NHPS in EID transmission, 3) results from past NHP pathogen surveillance projects in Kenya and 4) challenges and proposed solutions for NHP-EID surveillance. Finally, we propose that more studies need to include investigations into understanding how cross species transmission occurs in diverse NHP populations and how this impacts one health.

“…The two subspecies classification was the norm for only 4 years when Dandelot (1974) challenged this taxonomy, reclassifying C. a. sharpei as synonymous with C. a. palliatus, considering the pelage differences local adaptations. Dandelot's one subspecies classification, C. a. palliatus, remained the dominant, accepted taxonomy (Groves, 2001;Kingdon et al, 2008) even though Hull (1979) found species-level differences when 76 craniometric points were compared between the two populations.…”

“…Procolobus consists of the single olive colobus species, Procolobus verus, and while some authors consider the red colobus a subgenus (Grubb et al, 2013;Oates, 1994) or subspecies of Procolobus (Ting, 2008), others have elevated red colobus to their own genus, Piliocolobus (Groves, 2001(Groves, , 2007Roos et al, 2011). Taxonomic relationships of these genera remain unresolved.…”

Whether the Colobus angolensis that reside in the fragmented forests in eastern Kenya and Tanzania represent one subspecies or two has been debated for 50 years.Morphological and more recent genetic and ecological studies suggest that these populations represent two subspecies, C. a. palliatus and C. a. sharpei. However, their distribution of mitochondrial variation remains unresolved since the genetic study only characterized four populations at the range ends. Therefore, we characterized five populations in the area of the hypothesized subspecies divide. We identified eight new haplotypes which, combined with those previously identified, provided 26 haplotypes from nine populations for analysis. Haplotypes found south of the Rufiji River cluster together but separately from northern haplotypes. The largest sequence differences within cytochrome b occur between population pairs representing opposite sides of the river; their mean difference (1.5%) is more than that of other primate subspecies. Analysis of molecular variance attributes most of the variation to that north versus south of the river. These results support the previous subspecies distinction between C. a. palliatus (northern) and C. a. sharpei (southern), divided by the Rufiji River. The estimated time of the most recent common ancestor of all haplotypes indicates that the subspecies have been isolated from each other for approximately 550,000 years. The common ancestor of northern and southern haplogroups was 370,000 and 290,000 years ago, respectively.Nevertheless, the correlation between genetic and geographic distances suggests that isolation-by-distance contributed to population structuring. Significant variation among populations, with only three haplotypes shared between populations, also indicates that an extended period of isolation drove population distinctiveness.Considering these results, we evaluate hypotheses about the founding and

“…The common marmoset ( C jacchus ) belongs to the order Primates , family Cebidae and subfamily Callitrichinae , and is most known and common in adaptation to captivity. They occupy the biomass of the caatinga, cerrado, and costal Atlantic Rainforest in Northeastern Brazil, in the states of Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Maranhão, Bahia and Piauí, and extend south to the São Francisco river…”

Introduction The morphological study of wild animals serves as a base for more advanced studies in clinical medicine, surgery, and pathology. Due to an urgent need and demand for professionals specialized in this area, studies of this nature have become indispensable and so the objective of the present study was to describe the heart morphology of Callithrix jacchus. Methods Ten anatomic pieces of common marmoset were used. The hearts were removed and dissected for better visualization and thus to makes a detailed description of the structures of the organ of the C jacchus species. Results The C jacchus heart is similar to that of other mammals, with small anatomical modifications such as division of the apex by the interventricular grooves, shallow fossa ovalis, and less salient intervenous tubercle. Conclusions This study may serve as taxonomic base for research and also as a basis for clinical and surgical procedures with the C jacchus.
