“…Accordingly, cynomolgus ( Macaca fascicul aris ) and rhesus ( Macaca mulatta ) monkeys, belonging to macaques (genus Macaca ) of the Old World monkeys/Catarrhini, have been the most extensively used NHPs for biomedical research. Currently, 23 macaque species are recognized as distinct animals, but mating between, for example, rhesus monkeys and Japanese monkeys, has been observed in Japan ( Kawamoto et al., 2004 ) and this may imply that the differences among macaque species are so small as to be more like the differences among subspecies. NHPs belonging to the Old World monkeys/Catarrhini exist from Africa to the southern part of Eurasia and the Southeast Asian Islands, and macaques and the Great apes are thought to have branched 25–33 mya ( Israfil et al., 2011 ; Locke et al., 2011 ; Rhesus Macaque Genome et al., 2007 ) ( Figure 1 A).…”

Non-human primates as a model for human development

Human development has been studied for over a century, but the molecular mechanisms underlying human embryogenesis remain largely unknown due to technical difficulties and ethical issues. Accordingly, mice have been used as a model for mammalian development and studied extensively to infer human biology based on the conservation of fundamental processes between the two species. As research has progressed, however, species-specific differences in characteristics between rodents and primates have become apparent. Non-human primates (NHPs) have also been used for biomedical research, and are now attracting attention as a model for human development. Here, we summarize primate species from the evolutionary and genomic points of view. Then we review the current issues and progress in gene modification technology for NHPs. Finally, we discuss recent studies on the early embryogenesis of primates and future perspectives.

“…(https://www.nies.go.jp/biodiversity/invasive/DB/detail/10390e.html) The ecologically and behaviorally adaptive rhesus macaques proceeded to establish feral populations, successfully interbreeding and hybridizing with the native M. fuscata on Honshu. (Kawamoto et al, 2004; 2007; http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/02/21/national/japan-zoo-culls-monkeys-carrying-invasive-genes/#.WO7wB39SLV8) Given our findings that isolate 7709642 was consistent with BVrh and the documentation of rhesus macaques in Japan as early as the 1960’s, it is likely that this isolate represents an inadvertent cross-species transmission of BV in the wild. Despite being members of the same monophyletic species group, (Delson, 1980) Japanese macaques have been geographically isolated from mainland rhesus macaques for millennia; contact only occurs through human agency.…”

Genome sequence variation among isolates of monkey B virus ( Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1) from captive macaques

et al. 2017

Complete genome sequences of 19 strains of monkey B virus (Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1; BV) isolated from several macaque species were determined. A low level of sequence variation was present among BV isolates from rhesus macaques. Most variation among BV strains isolated from rhesus macaques was located in regions of repetitive or quasi-repetitive sequence. Variation in coding sequences (polypeptides and miRNAs) was minor compared to regions of non-coding sequences. Non-coding sequences in the long and short repeat regions of the genome did however exhibit islands of conserved sequence. Oral and genital isolates from a single monkey were identical in sequence and varied only in the number of iterations of repeat units in several areas of repeats. Sequence variation between BV isolates from different macaque species (different BV genotypes) was much greater and was spread across the entire genome, confirming the existence of different genotypes of BV in different macaque species.

“…Phenomena such as CD4 + T‐cell depletion, persistent viral replication, and chronic immune activation are common to both infections . Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ) are also of considerable interest partly because of their genetic similarity to rhesus macaques, and it is probable that more extensive use of the species in biomedical research will be made . In this study, we characterized Japanese macaque hematopoietic cells using flow cytometry.…”

Simian immunodeficiency virus infection and flow cytometric characterization of Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) hematopoietic cells

We characterized Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) hematopoietic cells using flow cytometry and identified 28 cross‐reactive anti‐human antibody clones. Furthermore, productive infection of peripheral T lymphocytes with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in vitro was confirmed by intracellular SIV p27 staining. This study could facilitate using Japanese macaques as models for human hematological and immunological disorders and infectious diseases.
