16) Physiological data
General laboratory data (hematology, etc.) became available from the studies by Sly et al. (1978). Kessler et al. (1983) studied hematologic values in the free-ranging Puerto Rico animals. Paterson (1975) showed that a wide variation of biochemical parameters exists in patas monkeys. Thermoregulation was studied by Gisolfi et al. (1983), which included some heart rate measurements as well.
17) Other resources
There is a large number (+/- 150) of free-ranging patas monkeys on Puerto Rico. They have escaped from the former breeding colony and are considered to be a "pest" now. Other colonies are held in a few laboratories referred to by Sly et al. (1983).
Cell lines are available from CRES at the Zoological Society at San Diego.
18) Other relevant features
Mattison & King (1983) have proposed this animal and other cercopithecids for the experimental study of fetoscopy and fetal blood sampling. When pregnant patas monkeys were given zidovudine (AZT - used for treatment of AIDS) in doses equivalent to human therapy, the fetuses (heart and muscle) and their placentas showed a dose-dependent damage of their mtDNA (Gerschenson & Poirier, 2000).
Twinning is not very common and it is rarely successful. Sly et al. (1983) reported that 4 sets of twins were observed among 501 gestations. Of these, one set aborted at midgestation, one had a mummified fetus with a liveborn infant, one liveborn had a stillborn twin, and two twins were stillborn. Sex and zygosity were not mentioned. Conaway (1969) described adrenal rests at the ovarian hilus, a frequent finding in many other species and also occurring near testes. The interesting aspect of these rests is that they never have any medullary tissue.
In view of the large proportion of "X-cells" in Patas monkey placentas it would be useful to search for major basic protein MBP in them, ascertain whether the human antibodies label them and perhaps reexamine the "choriocarcinomas" described earlier.
