16) Physiological data
No publications are known to me.
17) Other resources
Fibroblast strains are available through CRES at the San Diego Zoo. Pregnancy and birth of a common chimpanzee following artificial insemination with post mortem frozen epididymal sperm has been reported by Kusunoki et al. (2001).

Additional consideration of the placentation in the common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes
Several placentas have become available to us that differ only in minor detail from that of the bonobo. Thus, the term placenta of one such animal was 300 g, had an eccentric umbilical cord insertion, but the cord was only 26 cm long. It had a chalky streak, which was interpreted as being a calcified vitelline duct remnant. The remainder was normal. Another placenta had typical "X-cell" cysts (extravillous trophoblast). One additional placenta was of fraternal twins (male/female). It was kindly made available by Mrs. Jo Fritz (Arizona). It was from a premature delivery and was an example of a fused diamnionic dichorionic twin placenta, weighing 230 g combined. One cord was 15 cm, the other 49 cm long and one had a right, the other a left twist; one was eccentric, the other was marginal in its insertion. One had funisitis, a common cause of premature birth in human pregnancies. An unexplained feature of this specimen was the large number of hemosiderin-laden macrophages in the villi of twin 2.
