A 10-y-old pigtail macaque presented with a subcutaneous, soft-tissue mass overlying the right stifle joint. Here we describe the clinical case and histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of this lesion. This case represents the first published report of juxtaarticular myxoma in a pigtail macaque.

Research facilities have established animal adoption programs for laboratory animals. However, adoption to private owners is not an option for non-human primates (NHPs), so their post-research life presents a unique challenge. Here, we describe a collaborative effort between laboratory animal veterinarians and behavioral management staff in retiring NHPs in place to ensure their quality of life after the completion of research projects.

There is a critical need to generate age- and sex-specific survival curves to characterize chronological aging consistently across nonhuman primates (NHP) used in biomedical research. Sex-specific Kaplan-Meier survival curves were computed in 12 translational aging models: baboon, bonnet macaque, chimpanzee, common marmoset, coppery titi monkey, cotton-top tamarin, cynomolgus macaque, Japanese macaque, pigtail macaque, rhesus macaque, squirrel monkey, and vervet/African green. After employing strict inclusion criteria, primary results are based on 12,269 NHPs that survived to adulthood and died of natural/health-related causes.

The pigtailed monkey () is one of the species that have potency like the cynomolgus monkey that is widely used as an animal model for asthma study. The gene has potential as a genetic marker because of the secreted chemokine that plays a role in asthma. The aims of this research are to characterise the gene of pigtailed monkey, compare the structure of their gene with other primate species and determine model 3D structure protein prediction of CCL7 protein.

Article Synopsis
- Nonhuman primate (NHP) studies using simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) as a model for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) have limitations due to major differences between the two viruses, especially for studying specific HIV-1 biology and treatments.
- To address these issues, researchers are creating minimally modified HIV-1 (mmHIV-1) strains capable of pathogenic infection in macaques, focusing on overcoming species-specific restrictions, developing a CCR5-tropic envelope, and fixing gene expression defects.
- Progress has been notable in pigtail macaques, leading to the creation of a CCR5-tropic mmHIV-1 clone

Article Synopsis
- The Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC) has the largest breeding colony of pigtail macaques in the U.S., where the animals live in small to medium-sized social groups.
- They implement a programmatic framework for animal care that combines clinical treatment with socialization, incorporating elements like socialization in clinical settings and positive reinforcement training.
- This approach has led to impressive outcomes, such as a 99.5% success rate in social pairings for hospitalized macaques, and aims to reduce stress during medical care while managing both the medical and behavioral needs of these nonhuman primates.
