Background: Considering the relationship between human morphology and physiology with the Rhesus monkey, this animal is the most prominent species of laboratory primate for human and animal health research. Moreover, sending Macaca mulatta monkey into space and simulating a living environment for humans shows the similarity of this animal's physiology with humans.
Objective: So far, no comprehensive study has been done on computed tomography (CT) scan and radiography of skulls in Rhesus monkeys.
Background: The scleral ring in birds consists of ossicles that are fixed as small plates by cartilage joints and have no articulation to other parts of the skeleton.
Objective: Due to inadequate examination of the scleral ring anatomy and its specific form in owls, this study aimed to investigate the exact structure of the scleral ring and some morphometric characteristics of the eyeball in a long-eared owl (Asio otus).
Methods: The eyes of 20 alive and 10 dead male and female owls were examined.
Article Synopsis
- Three species of hemoplasma in felids were studied, focusing on the endangered Persian leopard in Iran.
- Blood samples from 19 wild felids showed two Persian leopards were infected with 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' and had antibodies for FIV.
- This research marks the first documented presence of hemoplasma in wild felids in the Middle East and the first infection report in Persian leopards.
