Que. The _______ phase of Trypanosoma cruzi can be found in the blood of NHPs, while the _______ phase occurs in skeletal and cardiac muscle and the reticuloendothelial system.

Que. Anatrichosoma cynomolgi is a nematode parasite that infects New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and apes. Most nematode infections can be diagnosed via fecal floatation; this parasite is different. How would you diagnose an A. cynomolgi infection?
- Ans. Nasal or epidermal swabs or scrapings
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch 16, P766
-
Que. Describe �wasting marmoset syndrome�; what are some proposed etiologies for this syndrome?
- Ans. Affected callitrichids have chronic diarrhea, colitis, and in some cases, hemolytic anemia; marked weight loss, muscle atrophy and alopecia also occur. Proposed etiologies include feeding all animals on floor at one feed station (dominant callitrichid may prevent access); primary Vit E or protein deficiency; inadequate calories per gram food.
- Ref. LAM 2d ed., Ch. 16, p. 775.
-
Que. Which commercial diet is considered the best for calliltrichids?
- Ans. No single commercial diet has proven to be adequate; many places feed a varied diet that may or may not be nutritionally adequate.
- Ref. LAM 2d ed., Ch. 16, p. 775.
-
Que. In severe cases, what are potential effects of crush injuries due to, for example, bite wounds, in NHPs?
- Ans. In severe cases, damage to underlying tissue can result in myoglobinuria, myoglobin casts in kidney, and resultant fatal renal disease.
- Ref. LAM 2d ed., Ch. 16, p. 775.
-
Que. What are some expressions (mild and severe) of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in macaques? Has environmental enrichment with puzzle feeders and manipulandq proven successful in decreasing this behavior?
- Ans. Mild � hair-pulling. Severe � head-banging, self-biting; NO.
- Ref. LAM 2d ed., Ch. 16, p. 775.
-
Que. What type of trauma is common in group-housed squirrel monkeys? How does it occur (is it self-inflicted or done to others)?
- Ans. Tail-biting; can be self-inflicted or caused by others; sometimes 1 or 2 members within a group will bite the tails of others.
- Ref. LAM 2d ed., Ch. 16, p. 775.
-
Que. True or False? Squirrel monkeys, marmosets, and owl monkeys may develop hypoglycemia as a primary disorder.
- Ans. True.
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que. True or false? Human glucometers are not very useful in the diagnosis of hypoglycemia in affected nonhuman primate species.
- Ans. False.
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que. Hypoglycemic animals weighing greater than 5 kg can be treated for hypoglycemia with an IV bolus of what fluid? Be specific.
- Ans. 50% dextrose (10 ml)
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que. Hypothermia and hyperthermia in nonhuman primates are of particular concern for animals in what type of housing?
- Ans. Outdoor housing.
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que. What is the best treatment for a nonhuman primate with hypothermia?
- Ans. Place the animal in a lukewarm water bath and monitor the body temperature every 4-5 minutes.
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que. Acute gastric dilatation (or bloat) in nonhuman primates has been associated with gastric proliferation of what organism (genus and species)?
- Ans. Clostridium perfringens
- Ref. LAM, 2nd ed., Ch. 16, p776
-
Que: What is the recommended treatment for acute gastric dilations in macaques?
- Ans:
- a. sedation with Ketamine HCL (10 � 15 mg/kg BW IM)
- b. Gastric intubation to relieve gastric pressure
- c. Admin. Of an agent to control gas formation
- d. Oral admin of ampicillin (30,000 IU/kg)
- e. IV admin of LRS (20-30 ml/kg)
- f. Cortison (1mg/kg) admin IV or IM to counter shock
- g. Remove gas and fluid to minimize vascular collapse following release of gastric pressure.
- Ref: LAM, 2nd Ed., Ch.16, p.777
-
Que: Abscessation of molar teeth in squirrel monkeys usually extends where?
- Ans: In the infraorbital region of the eye
- Ref: LAM, 2nd Ed., Ch.16, p.777
