Article Synopsis
- Rhesus macaques are important in biomedical research due to their similarities to humans, but spondyloarthritis (SpA) has only been documented in captive populations, not in the wild.
- Two cases of SpA were identified in wild Taihangshan macaques in China, with one diagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
- The study explores potential causes for the development of SpA in these wild macaques.
