INDUCED NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS IN RHESUS MONKEYS (MACACA MULATTA) PRODUCES CLINICAL SIGNS AND LESIONS SIMILAR TO NATURAL DISEASE IN MAN

Induced Neurocysticercosis in Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta) Produces Clinical Signs and Lesions Similar to Natural Disease in Man

Neurocysticercosis is a serious endemic zoonosis resulting in increased cases of seizure and epilepsy in humans.The genesis of clinical manifestations of the disease through experimental animal models is poorly exploited.The monkeys may prove useful for the purpose due to their behavior and cognitive responses mimicking man.In this study, neurocyst

Intraspecific correlations of basal and maximal metabolic rates in birds and the aerobic capacity model for the evolution of endothermy.

The underlying click here assumption of the aerobic capacity model for the evolution of endothermy is that basal (BMR) and maximal aerobic metabolic rates are phenotypically linked.However, because BMR is largely a function of central organs whereas maximal metabolic output is largely a function of skeletal muscles, the mechanistic underpinnings fo
