“…Nonetheless, considering the lack of studies on fetal echobiometry in neotropical primates, the use of ultrasound to predict whelping time is limited to Aotus nancymae (9), Leontoptecus sp. (27), and Sapajus sp. (23,25).…”

“…Uterine and ovarian examinations have always been of great concern in gynecology because they can host numerous diseases related to reduced fertility or cause serious damage to the health of females (6,36). Several techniques, such as ultrasonography, have been used to detect pregnancy in mammals, some of which represent technological advances in practice with captive animals (27). The increasing use of pregnant primates and their fetuses in scientific research makes diagnosing and monitoring pregnancy important, as it enables proper handling of the pregnant female (37).…”

“…Evaluating the efficacy of ART is crucial, and ultrasound is the method of choice for female cycle monitoring, early pregnancy diagnosis, and conceptus development study (11). Ultrasonography has been used to study gestation in C. jacchus (11-13), Saguinus fuscicollis (20), Aotus azarae infulatus (4, 39), Aotus nancymaae (9), Leontopithecus rosalia, Leontopithecus chrysomelas, Leontopithecus chrysopygus (27), Saimiri sp. (21), Sapajus sp.…”

The Neotropical (e. g., Aotus sp., Callithrix jacchus, Saguinus sp., Saimiri sp., and Sapajus sp.) primates are important models for biomedical research and studies on reproductive physiology and biotechnology. Consequently, studies about gynecological and obstetric ultrasonography are crucial. B-mode ultrasonography is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides real-time bidimensional or three-dimensional/four-dimensional B-mode images. In association with Doppler ultrasonography, B-mode ultrasonography can also be used to monitor the mammalian blood flow to the reproductive tract during important events such as ovulation and gestation. Thus, gynecological and obstetric ultrasonography is essential for establishing the female reproductive anatomical and physiological ovarian and uterine health status, gestational diagnosis, and fetal growth monitoring. For instance, the paper presents and discusses the state-of-the-art gynecological and obstetric ultrasonography in the Neotropical primates, species that are models for biomedical research, and some recent studies on species targets for conservation strategies for wild animal populations.
