Viridans streptococci were obtained from primates (great apes, rhesus monkeys, and ring-tailed lemurs) held in captivity, as well as from free-living animals (chimpanzees and lemurs) for whom contact with humans is highly restricted. Isolates represented a variety of viridans streptococci, including unknown species. Streptococcus oralis was frequently isolated from samples from great apes.

Objectives: Health, disease, and immune function are key areas of research in studies of ecology and evolution, but work on free-ranging primates has been inhibited by a lack of direct noninvasive measures of condition. Here, we evaluate the potential usefulness of noninvasive measurement of three biomarkers, the acute-phase proteins C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoglobin, and neopterin, a by-product of macrophage activity.
Materials And Methods: We took advantage of veterinary checks on captive rhesus (24) and long-tailed (3) macaques at the German Primate Center (DPZ) to analyze serum marker measures, before measuring concentrations in feces and urine, and evaluating relationships between matched serum, urine, and fecal concentrations.

Group M is an intact social group transferred from Cayo Santiago to Sabana Seca in 1984 and will be used for research integrating biomedical and behavioral investigations. The initial research planned for Group M will assess how social factors mediate the interactions between hormones and behavior as they affect male reproductive maturation. Preliminary data indicate that social status can accelerate endocrine maturation in males and that high ranking males may have a head start in initiating their reproductive careers.
