“…In New World monkeys, however, HHV-1 seems to act more like a CeHV-1–type ”killer virus” ( 5 , 15 ). The case presented here is the third confirmed case of naturally transmitted HHV-1 infection in marmosets ( 15 – 17 ), and several other cases have been suspected to be of similar origin ( 7 , 18 – 21 ).…”

Concerns have been raised about pet monkeys as a potential threat to humans. We report the opposite situation, a danger to pets that arises from humans. Similar to herpesvirus B (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1), which endangers humans but not its host species, Human herpesvirus 1 can act as a “killer virus” when crossing the species barrier to New World monkeys.

“…MBD has been recognized in NHP colonies for over 100 years, where it was originally referred to as “cage paralysis” or “cripples” [23] . Due to a dietary requirement of vitamin D3 and end organ resistance to vitamin D stimulation, New World monkeys are particularly susceptible [11] , [24] – [27] . The incidence of disease has decreased significantly with the development of commercially available balanced diets containing adequate levels of vitamin D3 for captive New World primates; however bone disease is still reported sporadically in individual marmosets despite feeding these diets, with the underlying cause of disease unclear.…”

Serum Albumin and Body Weight as Biomarkers for the Antemortem Identification of Bone and Gastrointestinal Disease in the Common Marmoset

et al. 2013

The increasing use of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in research makes it important to diagnose spontaneous disease that may confound experimental studies. Bone disease and gastrointestinal disease are two major causes of morbidity and mortality in captive marmosets, but currently no effective antemortem tests are available to identify affected animals prior to the terminal stage of disease. In this study we propose that bone disease and gastrointestinal disease are associated disease entities in marmosets and aim to establish the efficacy of several economical antemortem tests in identifying and predicting disease. Tissues from marmosets were examined to define affected animals and unaffected controls. Complete blood count, serum chemistry values, body weight, quantitative radiographs, and tissue-specific biochemical markers were evaluated as candidate biomarkers for disease. Bone and gastrointestinal disease were associated, with marmosets being over seven times more likely to have either concurrent bone and gastrointestinal disease or neither disease as opposed to lesions in only one organ system. When used in tandem, serum albumin <3.5 g/dL and body weight <325 g identified 100% of the marmosets affected with concurrent bone and gastrointestinal disease. Progressive body weight loss of 0.05% of peak body weight per day predicted which marmosets would develop disease prior to the terminal stage. Bone tissue-specific tests, such as quantitative analysis of radiographs and serum parathyroid hormone levels, were effective for distinguishing between marmosets with bone disease and those without. These results provide an avenue for making informed decisions regarding the removal of affected marmosets from studies in a timely manner, preserving the integrity of research results.

“…In captive non‐human primates metabolic bone disease was first described at the beginning of the century by Brooks and Blair (1905) who referred to the condition as ‘cage paralysis’. In subsequent years the disease has been reported frequently and New World monkeys have been shown to be susceptible to it (Scott 1928, Hill 1951, Ruch 1959, Wolf 1972, Potkay 1992).…”

Unusual case of metabolic bone disease in a common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)

Metabolic bone disease was diagnosed in an 11-month-old female common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). It was depressed, reluctant to move, and was cachectic and small for its age. Laboratory findings included anaemia, azotaemia and an inverse calcium to phosphorus ratio. The radiological findings showed simultaneous signs of osteomalacia and soft-tissue calcification. There was decreased bone density with lytic areas in the pelvis and femur, and severe bilateral nephrocalcinosis. Postmortem examination revealed marked focal dystrophic calcification of the epi- and myocardium. Calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency (nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism) was the most likely cause of the osteomalacia.
