Article Synopsis
- Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to African great apes, particularly bonobos, due to their social interactions and group dynamics.
- A flu-like illness outbreak was reported in two neighboring bonobo groups in Wamba, DR Congo, with the first occurring in the PE group on July 28, 2013, after interactions with the BI and PW groups.
- The second outbreak affected the E1 group starting October 14, 2013, following close contact with the PE group, suggesting potential disease transmission between the groups, possibly linked to immigrant females who showed prior symptoms.
Inter-group aggressive interaction patterns indicate male mate defense and female cooperation across bonobo groups at Wamba, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how bonobos interact with each other during encounters with neighboring groups, focusing on aggressive and cooperative behaviors.
- It was found that bonobos are more likely to cooperate in attacking out-group individuals and exhibit less aggression among their own group during inter-group interactions.
- The results suggest that while males compete for mates across groups, females tend to be more tolerant and form alliances, which may help maintain peaceful relationships between different bonobo groups.

Article Synopsis
- Some scientists debate whether the long lifespan after menopause is unique to humans or shared among Hominidae.
- There is a lack of research comparing how aging in humans differs from that in chimpanzees and bonobos, particularly in reproductive health.
- The findings report that old wild bonobos show signs of presbyopia, indicating that eye aging has remained similar in both bonobos and humans since they diverged from their common ancestor.

We studied affiliative behaviors that occurred within and between one-male units (OMUs) in a band of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) living in the Qinling Mountains, China for 3 years from 2002 to 2004. During the birth season, females handling infants of other females affiliatively interacted with females in neighboring OMUs as well as with females in their own OMU. After these interactions, affiliative encounters occurred without conflict between the OMUs.

Objective To evaluate the sedative effects of medetomidine, and a medetomidine-midazolam combination, in Japanese macaques and the antagonism of medetomidine-midazolam with atipamezole. Study design Prospective randomized study. Animals Thirteen healthy Japanese macaques between 3 and 21 years old and weighing between 4.

The central nervous system (CNS) of primates is more complex than the CNS of other mammals. Details of the development and aging of the primate CNS have recently been revealed by various neurobiological techniques. It has become clear that the primate CNS has unique characteristics, for example, the capacity for the overproduction and elimination of fibers and synapses.
